Tobal No. 1 at 30: Far More Than a Final Fantasy VII Demo Bundler
On August 2, 1996, Squaresoft launched Tobal No. 1 in Japan. Thirty years later, DreamFactory's fighting game remains trapped by a reputation that overshadows it: being the vehicle for a Final Fantasy VII demo. This misses the mark on a title that embodies the brutality of the 1990s 3D fighting game market, the commercial power of Akira Toriyama at his peak, and an ambition in game design that few fighting games have matched since.
