Great game! My 14 year old is just now getting into the Final Fantasy games. He enjoys them a great deal! They are now priced at a resonable cost for families on a budget.

The beginnings of the Final Fantasy series are right here!

First a disclamer: I have only played the first title in this two game set, namly Final Fantasy I. It will play on the PS II.

The game, by todays standards, isn't the best as far as graphics, sound or even story goes, but for 1988, it was groundbreaking at least for the NES which was the first game system it was released on. This is an updated version of the original NES Final Fantasy I game, complete with nicely rendered CGI openings and endings. The graphics have even been updated to "16 bit" quality. The playability is much better with options you can turn on and off such as auto re-targeting, etc than the original NES version. It is one of the more challenging titles from Square and I've played every final Fantasy they have come out with except for II and III. I will admit, there is a bit of tedium in this game especially in certain parts of certain dungeons where the "random" attacks happen after each and every step. Even with the quirkiness of this very retro game, it is still a MUST for a Final Fantasy collector, such as myself, who likes to have 12 FF titles on their shelf ready to play in a PS2 at a moments notice. Now if Square would only release FF III as an updated version. Maybe they could include Illusion of Gaia ... heres hoping! :)

just what i thought it would be

i went in the store thinking that if the ff1 on this disc was the same as the one on the nes that i remember from when i was a kid. it was that and then some. the wizards at square made this classic better. the new memo save feature is great, no more having to use a tent before a hard dungeon. with revamped graphics and a much better soundtrack that goes quite well with a sourround sound system. there's only slight changes. the temple of fiends is now the temple of chaos and the blackbelt class is now a monk. other than that this is the meaning of gaming nostalgia. oh and by the way all the attacks DO get redirected!!!

Unbelievable

Final Fantasy was always fantastic, but had a few quirks that decreased the game's enjoyment level. Thankfully, Square has finally ironed out those problems. For example, you can now hold many items in your inventory, eliminating the need to sell off valuable equipment. In the NES version, I can remember selling key items such as the Sun sword, Were sword, Ice Armor and Flame Armor; these are helpful throughout the game when fighting the appropriate enemies. In addition, you can now switch equipment in battle, which is great because you rarely know beforehand which enemies you will face, and consequently, which weapons or armor you will need.

The storyline is clearer, and you can see all of your characters during key dialogue sequences (similar to every other Final Fantasy game). Square has upgraded the graphics a notch. The game auto-targets in the fashion of other FF games. There is a fantastic FMV scene at the beginning of the game. There are plot-advancing scenes interspersed with the action. These are a few of the changes, all of which connect you better with the story and gameplay.

Verdict: zero percent frustration, 100 percent fun. Five stars out of five.

not bad at all

this will have to do untill the psx3 comes out.
square enix states they will not actually remake their games unless the psx is not backwards compatible. bummer, still a great revamp of the old original.

great game

The game that started it all has been reissued (FF1) along with its follow-up that has never before been released in the U.S. (FF2). These two SNES originals play wonderfully on the Playstation. I become enthralled just as much as I did when I was a child playing the originals. This is a great collector's set.

well worth the asking price

i bought this psx game final fantasy orgins because i remember playing the oringal ff on the nes. the ffo version of final fantasy is better than the nes one because you get 15 save slots and none of your hits are wasted unlike the nes ver. i am actualy buying ffo for the 2nd time because i lost my orginal copy. when i orginally played it, i finished it about 3 times within the first month of owning it.
