When developer SquareSoft was struggling to make an impression on the world back in 1987 while bills mounted up and the world was in the grip of Mario fever, it looked like there was little option but to wave the white flag. Legend has it, they were on the brink of closing and sending everyone home.Then theyreleased one final game- prophetically called Final Fantasy- and held their breath. The game proved to be a smash success and the rest, as they say, is history. Some 20 years later, the Final Fantasy factory is still pumping out the hits and if Final Fantasy XIII is anything to go by, Square Enix is still a visionary developer to be reckoned with.
