The lights are on
Few video game franchises have lasted as long, or endured as many entries, as the Final Fantasy brand. If you've only got 30 second to spare, here's a quick recap of the brand.
RicePirate from the YouTube channel Lore in a Minute gives us a brief history of the Final Fantasy series in the following video.

That was a little more than 30 seconds.
Well, that was fast.
Ahhh... classic Final Fantasy games :D Thanks for the video, man!
I love final fantasy games...
I like to see this guy do the history of SMT. That would be a nightmare!
Oh, so that's why it's called Final Fantasy, cause it was literally his "final fantasy" XD
Anyway I do have high hopes for 15, if for anything its so we can at least hurry to Kingdom Hearts III!!!!!
So much of the talent pool that made FF great is gone that it's hard to recognize SE as being even a shadow of what it once was. That said, I'm a sucker and I'll keep buying these stupid games til the day I die.
Well, first off, it's Final Fantasy, not SE (which I see you fixed). Second, both you and the creator of the video were wrong on the times. It's not 30 seconds, it's not 60 seconds, it's closer to 90 seconds.
As for the video itself, pretty cool, knew most of this already. Didn't realize Spirits Within was such a colossal flop. I remember watching it and being horribly confused. After seeing it a couple times when I was older, I thought it was decent. Not great, far from a Final Fantasy title, but decent.
And, I have super high hopes for XV.
My first game was Final Fantasy 4 Advance. Still remains one of my favorite games and my personal FF favorite. I'm not overly hopeful for the new one since many people are going to have very high hopes for a game that has been in development for so long. And sadly I fully expect SE to milk Kingdom Hearts to the limit just as they have with FF. But so long as they make KH 3 good I suppose I can live with that.
