Akira Toriyama is the author of the Dragon Ball manga, which was later adapted into the incredibly popular Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z anime series. He is also known for his character design in Chrono Trigger. His work has also inspired other manga artists in their creations.

Although the franchise is extremely popular, it is not without critics. Some cite a lack of interactivity (overuse of Full Motion Video), rigid and often linear story structure and unoriginality. With the exception of Final Fantasy VII, the games that appeared in CD form on the Sony PlayStation and PlayStation 2 platforms that are scenario-written by Kazushige Nojima, are especially attacked by critics within the video game community. Nintendo's Legend of Zelda, Konami's Suikoden, Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto and Square Enix's Dragon Quest franchises are strong competitors of Final Fantasy. Much of the Final Fantasy fanbase is believed to have conservative attitudes, especially since the time of Final Fantasy VII, and many critics have such attitudes.
