A website devoted to Final Fantasy news starts in preparation for the franchise's 35th anniversary and the release of upcoming games this year.

Final Fantasy is one of the world's most popular RPG series. The first installment was released on December 18, 1987, and a website was created to commemorate the 35th anniversary.

The first Final Fantasy game was created by Square, now known as Square Enix, and was launched on the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was a massive hit inspiring Square to create a slew of sequels and spin-offs over the next 35 years.

Fans will be able to discover more about upcoming games in the series and read updates from Final Fantasy's official Twitter account on the newly created website. Yoshinori Kitase, who has worked on several Square Enix games as a director, producer, writer, and supervisor, has also left a message. He went on to say that the 35th anniversary of the original Final Fantasy also serves as a celebration of other great games. Final Fantasy 5 was released 30 years ago, Final Fantasy 7 was released 25 years ago, and Final Fantasy 11: Online has released 20 years ago.
