Your Opinion on Why the First Final Fantasy was a Success?

As you all know, Square Enix was on the verge of bankruptcy back awhile in 1987. Their savior was Final Fantasy I, which was named that because it was actually their Final attempt to get back into business. What do you think the game had to get Square Enix attention it needed?

I think that one of the biggest part of their success was from Nobuo Uematsu. They had very limited equipment, and for Uematsu to be able to create such a moving theme song was genius.

To be honest, i never knew that was the reason why they had to make a final fantasy due to there last attempt in saving themselves.

Guess i learn new things everyday. Thanks for the info.

All the FF games ive played have been highly intresting, but i still cant wait for the re-make of Final Fantasy 7 for the PS3.

This is two days late, but it can't hurt to answer ;)

I did not see the Icons episode for this because I pretty much already knew all of the information I said there. First paragraph is facts, second is my opinion. I'm a sucker for good music :D
