There’s no denying the influence that Final Fantasy series has had on the lives of gamers everywhere. Many of us grew up playing the first Final Fantasy game on the Nintendo Entertainment System, and fondly remember playing games like Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy Tactics and so on.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the beloved franchise. Throughout the year there have been national and international celebrations, from Fan Fests to special convention events. And the celebration isn’t slowing down. Square Enix just recently announced the Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary: A Legacy of Art exhibition at the Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, California, about 10 miles from Downtown Los Angeles.
