Final Fantasy is a series of video games created and published by the Japanese company Square Enix. There are currently twelve numbered installments in the series as well as a number of sequels, prequels, and two films.
Although many people consider Final Fantasy to be a single fandom, the numbered games within the franchise are not directly related to one another, and not everyone in the fandom knows or has played all the games. Many people in FF fandom have played more than one game, or are at least familiar with multiple games, but not all.
