04- Final Fantasy

Since 1987, the Final Fantasy series of role-playing videogames have entertained young and old alike. No numbered entry in the series is alike- one game might take place in a dystopian sci-fi future while another might be set in a lush high fantasy world. Despite these differences, one thing these games have in common is great music. The latest in series, Final Fantasy XV, is coming out in November 2016 after being in development for a decade.
