Late bloomer here, but I recently discovered this remastered version for the PS1, which have to say it far surpasses the original NES release in every way possible. First impressions: The graphics alone are a vast improvement over the 8-bit cartridge, very much to that of SuperNES style and quality visuals. The dungeons, towns and backgrounds during fights are so nicely rendered that it gives players an added sense of immersion while exploring the world. The music is, well...not sure how to put in words but the themes were redefined quite beautifully. The feeling I got when entering the temple of Chaos...just something about the piano, violin and the synthesized orchestra, it established a mood to that of ungodly euphoria. There are many improvements also in the mechanics of the game also. For instance, when buying multiples of an item from a shop, they offer a quantity option which makes the process less of a strain. Buying spells are no longer a headache since there is a description of what each spell does instead of having to guess in the NES version. I like that they give you 6 characters to name your party members, opposed to just 4, which lets you get a little more creative. Only real issues I had while playing was identifying the updated enemy sprites and correspond them to their originals. Some enemies go by a completely different name in the updated version, like for instance CREEP in the original game is now called Gigas Worm, KYZOKU are called Privateers, GrOgre is now Ogre Chieftain, etc. Another issue in regards to enemy encounters is they seem to happen A LITTLE TOO FREQUENTLY, which can become a nuisance when you're just trying to get somewhere instead of grinding. Also unsure if the numerous bugs in the original game were fixed in the updated version. I heard several reports from gamers that certain spells didn't work or some of the battle mechanics were broken or glitched. Apart from the minor programming errors the game may have it is sure to be considered a real gem among fans of the original NES version. To those who love final fantasy this is definitely worth playing.Vollständige Rezension lesen

The game came in, it came in as advertised. It was the late re-release version meaning it was the non-black bottom but regardless as long as it works, then I had no issue. It seemed like it was opened and then re-sealed and there is no longer a crack like in the photo, no to mention the CD was no prestine. BUT, it works flawlessly and thankfully I had plans to open and play it, anyone who planed on a sealed copy for collecting would be disappointed.

Final Fantasy. So named because if it hadn't taken the gaming world-- at least the gaming world in Japan-- by storm, there would be no more Square. Graphics 9: Each of the characters are shown with great detail, they even have art work you can get while going through the game, along with the monsters you come across. The towns have a new look to them also, with each of the npc's with great detail too. The detail they put into the background was really amazing compared to the older one. The magic has been well designed too. The monsters are more of a wide variety also, even though you will run into the same enemy just different colors. The land seems to be detailed well too, because they are true colors instead of just random colors the system can handle. Game play 10: For Final Fantasy the battles are like they used to be - turn based. But unlike Final Fantasy II, FF has the leveling system, which you should be used to. They have two different kinds of magic's white, which is the curative magic, and black which is more of an elemental damage magic. Another set of characters is the monk, whom goes against everything, unlike a warrior this type of character can have better attack and defense without having any items equipped to them. The warrior is one of the most basic characters which are one of the best. He can equip any item and still be strong. Along with these is a thief, whom you can have run from enemies. But they have nowhere near the attack of the warrior, all they seem good for is luck and their speed, but with that luck and speed they can help you escape from battles easier. When you advance farther in the game you can have these characters upgrade, which will make their stats go up. In the beginning of FF II you notice there are four different characters running from their town which has been set on fire, they are the four main characters you see. The first one I will mention is Firion he was orphaned at a young age, he was adopted by the parents of Maria and Leon, and he grew up with them and considers them his real family. Maria is Leon's sister, Leon goes a separate path at the beginning of the game and you are to track him down. The last one is Gus, he was a childhood friend of the three and he tends to use his muscles more than he does his brain, he is one of the strongest of the group, but he isn't very bright. Unlike FF this game has actual characters to fit a story line, which can be a good thing. In FF II there are no levels you gain more status as you move on with the game. But like FF there is the same kind of magic, you buy it and you can equip it to anybody in this game really. But there are not separate classes in this game so it goes with who gets it first keeps it. They all have their own sort of weapons. The battling isn't much different than any other FF except you don't get any experience at the end of the battle. Sound 10: The sound is really great in this game. The soundtrack on FF is better than of FF II in my opinion. The voice acting on the FF II video was really good and the rest of the noises where okay. This is a really great game and if you don't have it I highly suggest that you go out and buy it.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Here is where it all started that brought the success to Squaresoft and a new name to the eyes and ears of RPG fans around the globe, Final Fantasy. This classic RPG that is remastered features Final Fantasy I and II. Most people are familiar with the first, from the Nintendo back in the 80's and with the other Final Fantasy games remastered for the Sony Playstation, many fans are allowed to experience the great games that didn't make it to North America the first time around. New scenamatics have been added, so that players may get a more realistic feel for the game, to make up for the graphics inwhich are outdated. Although, bringing these classics to the Playstation, fans are now able to own the collection for Sony as they continue to have the capability of playing all formats of previous games. I highly recommend any fan of role playing games to pick this up and add to your Final Fantasy collection. As these become harder and harder to find, you will never let it go once it gets past you.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Final Fantasy Origins contains both Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II. Both of the games feature enhanced graphics and sound. Overall, both games are more colorful and look much better than the originals. If you are not familiar with either of the two games, they are both classic RPGs and are must haves for fans of the genre. Since these games are both quite old, they are simple compared to today’s RPGs, so they are not for everyone. The original Final Fantasy is pretty bland by today's standards. The story and the gameplay are both simplistic, but for fans of the series you have to play it. Final Fantasy II is a great old school RPG. It is a lot more complex then the original in terms gameplay, and the story is a little more involved. The combat for both of the games is turn based like the majority of Final Fantasy games. The one complaint I have about this game is that it takes a few seconds to load the menu screen (in the original versions it would come up almost instantly), but this is only a minor complaint although it can get annoying. If you are a fan of old RPGs or just want to see where the series began, you should definitely get Final Fantasy Origins. Pros: - Two great Final Fantasy games in one - Includes Japanese FFII - Features updated graphics and music Cons: - Does not appeal to younger gamersVollständige Rezension lesen
