It's blowing my mind that Final Fantasy, one of the most Japanese of 'Japanese Role Playing Games' was programmed by Iranian-born Nasir Gebelli, who left Iran to avoid the 1979 revolution.
Studied programming in the US, and did notable work on the Apple II before being recommended to Square.
He programmed the first three Final Fantasy games and also Secret Of Mana.
What a champ.

So I'm reading about Final Fantasy I and this book mentions it uses a 'Vancian' magic system.
So apparently this is from author Jack Vance and the 'Dying Earth' series of books.
It refers to style of "remembered spells" that must be memorised and then disappear from one's mind when cast.
Many nerds will recognise this as the system used and popularised by D&D.
And indeed Final Fantasy I does use this system, before switching to the more generic MP system used in later games.

I have been playing Final Fantasy I.
I have the impression it was never originally released in Australia, but as a NES game it's outstanding.

I've been playing Final Fantasy VII Remake lately.
The original game dominated my headspace in 1998.
I previously tried and bounced off the remake due to the (very meta) alterations made to the story. Also some of the awkward dialogue and "anime grunts".
Anyway, pushing through now, and there is something a bit magical about being in a fully realised 3D Midgar.
Maybe I will get through this after all.
