Final Fantasy Turn Based Gaming Game
This is a turn-based game, meaning that the flow of the game is sectioned into chapters, or “turns.” For example, turns might represent units of time, like years. The players in turn-based gaming games are allowed to “think” before committing to some action. Sometimes they are allowed a limited time, and sometimes unlimited time. Theoretically this leads to better choices.
In some contexts, such as browser gaming, turn-based gaming may mean that game play can go on beyond one play session. This can make turns take a very long time to finish.
In this Gamesloo Final Fantasy franchise game, you play the role of a knight named Cecil from a place called Baron. You have to save the world from an evil character named Golbez. While trying to keep Golbez from getting his hands to some powerful crystals you find out about your backstory as you go through three levels to battle Golbez’s servants.
This was the first Final Fantasy game to introduce the character driven plot, and it included a musical score by Nobuo Uematsu. It is still considered to be one of the greatest gaming games of all time.
You, as Cecil, have to complete missions to advance the story line. All the characters move around and interact with other characters (including enemies) on a special map representing many settings: forests, towers, caves, etc.
In one castle Cecil finds out that his Princess, named Rosa, is locked up in another castle. In order to get into the castle he has to venture through underground water systems connecting the castles.
In battle situations you have several options: you can fight, you can use magic, you can retreat, change positions, pause, or you can parry. Characters and monsters have a “life bar” indicating how much life they have left. If no life is left, the character faints, or if it’s a monster, it dies. Sleeping in an inn, or using some item such as a potion can restore the character’s life bar.
You can use swords, armor, and other equipment that you either buy in villages or find in dungeons to better defend yourself against monsters and to inflict more damage. The placement of the character affects the distribution of the damage, both given and received. You proceed through the story line on a path, though there are some side missions available as well.
All the characters have certain strengths and weaknesses. If a character has, say strong magic, he may not have very good defense. A character who excels in physical fighting may not be very agile. With experience characters improve their abilities and acquire new ones. There are three types of magic involved in the gaming game. White magic is used for healing and support. Black magic is offensive, and Summon magic is for calling monsters to attack.
Cecil changes during the course of the game. He starts out as a Dark Knight, but later he becomes a Paladin.
