In this second cup of Tea With Bahamut, we explore the creative legacy sparked by Final Fantasy I—not from Square Enix, but from the fans. This episode is all about the spin-offs, tributes, and retellings inspired by the game that started it all.

We dive into a manga adaptation that breathes new life into the story, revisit the hilarious and nostalgic 8-Bit Theater webcomic that parodied and celebrated the original adventure, and break down the YouTube gem Final Fantasy I in a Nutshell. Along the way, we reflect on how fans around the world took the skeletal plot and pixelated world of FF1 and transformed it into something bigger—filling in gaps, expanding the lore, and making it their own.

Why does this game still inspire stories decades later? What does it say about the power of a simple RPG from 1987? Pour yourself some tea and join us as we discuss the creative echoes of Final Fantasy I.
