11 Video Games That Taught You Valuable Life Lessons

We are stronger together. Although we may believe we are independent, strong individuals, capable of surviving by ourselves; it's always more fun when we are with friends.

Individuality, independence of mind and freedom of person are admirable qualities, yet, it can be an emotionally draining and mentally difficult task to survive entirely by oneself. Every Final Fantasy game encourages this approach, urging the player to think laterally across a range of individuals, to assemble a team with a diverse range of strengths and weaknesses and to act collectively as a cohesive unit.

Players can draw important lessons from the structure of the Final Fantasy series - although, we hold our individual academic, sporting and emotional strengths, when coupled and shared with others, we have the potential to develop and grow as a unit - to achieve what was previously unachievable by oneself. Moreover, it can be a healthy lifestyle choice to interact in a social sphere, garnering particular mental and physical benefits, as opposed to the stresses associated with a sheltered existence. Final Fantasy encourages risk-taking on a social scale, whilst illustrating the progressive benefits accruing from team work.
