History Heartwarming / FinalFantasyI

* In the Dawn of Souls remake, there's a bonus dungeon with a level filled with the souls of various monsters from the game. To beat the level, you need to talk to these souls and listen to their problems.

** In another one of the dungeons you run into a colony of Dwarves. One of them happens to be a big fan of Nerrick's, if you want you can help him get an autograph signed by the master craftsman.
* Perhaps the biggest meta moment of Heartwarming for this game and the genre in general is the backstory. Square was, while not "dying" as some versions have it, definitely stuck in the mud and not going much of anywhere. There was the beginning of discussion about folks moving on, but instead of quietly folding, the staff by and large wanted to take one more big swing at a marquee title. Not only was the game successful, but it single-handedly saved the company from, if not bankruptcy, at least nigh-irrelevance, and revolutionized the niche genre of Role Playing Games as a whole. One game, made as a love letter as much as anything (even if it was a very "inspired" love letter), ended up being one of the most crucial titles of its decade. Without Hironobu Sakaguchi and company deciding to go for it, all of videogaming would look much different.

** And he does manage to save Garland, just like he promised.

They had lost all hopes of reviving as a company, and instead of quietly folding, they decided to go out with a bang. Not only was the game successful, but it single-handedly saved the company from bankruptcy and revolutionized the niche genre of Role Playing Games as a whole. One game, made more as an act of love, proved to have one of the biggest impacts in gaming as a whole. When Hironobu Sakaguchi conceived the game, he brought forth a miracle to RPG's everywhere.
