In 1986, games publisher Enix released the RPG Dragon Quest in conjunction with the developer Chunsoft. Taking place in a medieval fantasy land of kings and princesses, Dragon Quest would set the standard for Japanese role-playing games (JRPGs). The next year, the very first Final Fantasy game arrived. The subgenre pretty much exploded leading into the ‘90s. Even Sega created a series of its own — and the fourth game in said series is an iconic finale worth checking out ASAP if you’re subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.
