Final Fantasy was released on December 18, 1987. Inverse's celebration takes a look back at our favorite games, characters, and moments over the years.

“You don’t need a reason to help people.”
Clowns truly are the worst.
The play’s the thing.

History remembers the victor.
Long day’s journey into night.
