All people can hope for is that the ancient prophecy will be finally fulfilled. "When the world is veiled in darkness, four warriors will come..." And indeed, they come - the four characters you have previously chosen.
Their first quest is to free a princess from the evil knight Garland, and then the real journey begins.
Final Fantasy is played with an adventuring party rather than with a single character.
Before the game starts, the player chooses four characters from six different classes: Fighter, Thief, Black Belt, White Mage, Red Mage, and Black Mage.
He also gives the characters names.
In the game, the party walks around in a top-down world, visits cities, caves, palaces and other places to buy equipment, rest and get hints and new quests, and fights baddies when they are encountered.
Final Fantasy uses a turn-based combat system.
In battle, the player gives each character in order a command (attack a particular enemy, cast a spell, use an item, or try to run).
Then the characters and the enemies act in a random order.
Attacked enemies and party members lose hit points, dying when they reach zero HP.
When all the enemies are defeated, living party members receive experience, eventually gaining a level and improving their stats when enough experience is accumulated.
Slain party members can be revived in towns for a price.
Spells are bought in cities in special shops.
The spells are divided into two categories - white magic and black magic.
White Mages can only use white magic, Black Mages can only use black magic, and Red Mages can use both.
Casting spells in battle uses up Dungeons & Dragons-style spell slots, which, like hit points, can be restored by resting in inns.
About Nintendo Wii U
The Wii U (2012) was commercially Nintendo's least successful home console, hampered by market confusion over whether the GamePad tablet controller was a new device or a Wii accessory. Its low sales mean smaller overall print runs across the board, and several first-party and indie darlings have already become noticeably pricier than their commercial performance would suggest, since there are simply fewer copies in circulation.
Gamevaro tracks Final Fantasy for Nintendo Wii U with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Final Fantasy to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WIU release dates back to 2009.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Final Fantasy, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Wii U titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
