Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy launched in 1987, created by Hironobu Sakaguchi for developer Square, reportedly named partly because the game was intended as the company's last-ditch project before an anticipated bankruptcy, a fate the game's surprise commercial success ultimately helped the company avoid entirely. The franchise became known for its anthology structure, with each mainline numbered entry typically featuring an entirely new self-contained story, world, and cast of characters rather than direct narrative continuity, letting Square (later Square Enix) continuously reinvent the series' setting and mechanics with each new installment. Final Fantasy VII, released in 1997, is widely credited as one of the most influential and commercially significant role-playing games ever made, helping establish Japanese role-playing games as a major commercial genre for Western audiences during the PlayStation era. Final Fantasy's combination of its unusual anthology structure reinventing itself with each entry and Final Fantasy VII's historically significant role popularizing Japanese RPGs in the West has made it one of the most influential video game franchises in the industry's history.
VS
The Legend of Zelda
The Legend of Zelda franchise began in 1986, also created by Shigeru Miyamoto, built around recurring hero Link's quest to rescue Princess Zelda and defeat the evil Ganon across a series of games that helped establish and repeatedly reinvent the action-adventure genre. The franchise became particularly known for its willingness to significantly reinvent its core gameplay formula with major entries, from the top-down 2D exploration of the original game to the fully open-world redesign of 2017's "Breath of the Wild," which many critics credit with reshaping the entire open-world genre. Zelda games are frequently cited among the highest-rated video games ever released, with multiple entries in the series holding some of the highest aggregate critic review scores in gaming history, reflecting an unusually consistent critical reputation across nearly four decades of releases. The Legend of Zelda's combination of its willingness to fundamentally reinvent its core formula with major entries and its unusually consistent critical acclaim across decades has made it one of the most respected video game franchises ever created.
