A TabletopRPG developed by Returner Games Inc. It is based on the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' video game series, though it is only a fan-made work, with no official ties to Square Enix. Development of what would become FFRPG began in 1995. In 1999, the First Edition of FFRPG was released, followed by a Second Edition in 2001. 2E was far from exemplary, however, with many issues of balance, consistency, and accuracy to the source material. After many years of development and testing, the completed FFRPG Third Edition was finally released as a free .pdf in 2009. The main website and [[TheWikiRule wiki]] can (no longer) be found [[http://www.returnergames.com/ here]] and [[http://www.returnergames.com/ord/index.php/Main_Page here]] respectively.
