The very first ever Final Fantasy game was in Japanese only, released for the MSX in 1987. This 1990, NES remake of Final Fantasy was when Squaresoft really made the rest of the world first sit up and take notice.
Final Fantasy got an American release, and Japanese-style RPGs suddenly became more popular in the West.
This Nintendo Entertainment System release, though, is really where the core of the next decade of Final Fantasy games were seeded.
