Title screen

The title screen is a recurring feature that appears in all of the games in the Final Fantasy series. It is usually the first interactive menu upon booting a game up.
The options present in the title screen are in a list format and can be traversed by using the D-pad, clicked with the mouse for the MMOs, using the stylus for Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS games, or by tapping for iOS and Android games. Its features allow the player to select if they will play a New Game, continue from a quick save, or load a saved file. Some newer games also allow for cloud saving.
The title screen usually features the game's logo, but with some exceptions, with the list format of options usually underneath the logo and positioned centrally. If the title screen doesn't feature the logo then the options for New Game, Load Game etc. usually appear in the center of the screen.
If the player refrains from pressing any buttons while viewing the title screen, the game may begin to play an intro credits sequence.
Older Final Fantasy games did not feature an opening option on the title screen; pressing the Start button or any confirmation button lead directly to the saved files menu with the New Game option present at the top.
==Layout==
The common options present in the title screen are the New Game and the Load Game options which allow the player to start a game from the beginning or continue from a saved file respectively. Other games offer different options depending on the respective game's port or remake.
"Prelude" or a variation thereof plays in the background of most title screens in the series.
