If this is what I think it is, than I'm surprised. This seems to be the Cartridge of the Nintendo game that came out in 1987 in Japan and 1990 in America. If it ever comes in stock, order it, frame it, and put it on your wall. This was the first Final Fantasy kiddies.

It is ok

Remember those Jeff Rovin books entitled How to Win at Nintendo Games? I first heard of Final Fantasy in one of those books. Upon being pursuaded I decided to try my hand at a new side of video gaming--RPG's. Unlike the Zelda games, the graphics were SHARP and BRIGHT. Not the stupid pastel-colors in earlier NES games. When you first pop the game in, the blue narrative screen comes up and the Final Fantasy Prelude plays. But where's the title, you ask? I'll explain later. Then you name your four characters, and the best part is that you can choose which TYPES of characters you want EVERY time you start again! Do you want muscle, or magic? Fighter, Thief, Black Belt, White Mage, Red Mage and Black Mage. After this, the fantasy begins . . . .The princess has been kidnapped by the evil knight Garland, who lives far to the north on this tiny island continent. The four warriors beef up and face Garland, whereupon he says, "You impertinent fools! I, Garland, shall knock you all down!" Then the first major battle in the FF series takes place. But the title screen STILL hasn't appeared yet. Back at your home castle, the king and queen are so happy that you saved the princess that they agree to build a bridge spanning over to the other continent. You step onto the bridge . . . and THAT'S when the title screen appears, when the Final Fantasy (anthem, I guess you'd call it) plays. In short, the first hour of the game was just a PROLOGUE--like they have in books. I've played all the way up to FF9, but that title screen still impresses me. I hope you know that I'm writing all this from memory--that's how good this game is. Even now, USED copies of Final Fantasy cost ... I could write on and on and on, but I think I got enough down to encourage people to play this game.

This game is the best RPG for SNES, that includes Chrono Trigger and the other Final Fantasy. It is a HUGE shame that it doesnt get the credit it deserves, like CT and the other FF's.

The First... The Best...

Final Fantasy has an excellent plot, much better than others (seriously). More on this later. The battle scenes are fair, and the gameplay is good. The game's plot consists of FF7's and FF5's. Here are passages of the storyline. "The earth begins to rot" (FF7), "The wind stops" (FF5). This game was one of the first FF's to be made. The first one was FFLegend, which had NO plot, and NO interactivity at all. So THIS game is a pretty good game, should keep you busy for a month or two.

For the time, a killer game

Short of the Dragon Warrior series, this is the only really good RPG on the NES. This game does differ from its sequels in that you pick the classes of characters you want to use, instead of having a set cast of chatacters, and you have the whole party for the whole game, instead of switching them in and out, gaining and losing allies as the story progresses. By today's standards, kind of old school, but worth playing.

Why final fantasy is great

This game is the game that brought final fantasy to were it is today, one of the best RPG series ever. This game is action packed and full of exitment. I would recommened this game to any RPG game player

The only NES game that was ever any good.

I grew up when the Atari was the machine to have, so I largely missed out on the entire beginning of the Nintendo craze till the SNES came out, at which point my mother (who was and still is a total console-game freak) gave me her 8-bit Nintendo and all her old games. She had about 40 games, all the old favorites like Zelda, but none of them caught my attention till I tried Final Fantasy.

It is a rich, multi-layered game that's extremely straightforward. There are few puzzles (I hate them, so that's good), few mazes, and few trials that are overly difficult. It's a straight hack-and-slash game -- go kill things, go through this new level and kill things there, get objects, find the big bad guy and kill him too at the end. Basically, if you're persistent, you'll figure it all out. And there's none of that irritating "ensemble cast" design that the later FFs seem to like. As simple as the game design is, it still manages to tell a rich and involving story that actually, considering this is a Japanese game, makes sense. It took me a month or so to beat the game, and I immediately made another party and set out again at level 1, it's so good.

Since then, my mother's given me her SNES too, and I think some other system that involves CDs, but I still play Final Fantasy almost exclusively and still love it. If you actually manage to find this game, and you're a puzzle-hater like me, then I think you'll like it.

Final Fantasy......diserves 10 stars!!!

This game has got to be one of the best ever. I remember when I was about 4 or 5 and I used to play NES all day in the summer. Once I got Final Fantasy I tosses away Zelda (that was a miracle I never put that game down). It's such a great game the beginner of the whole series and possibly the best in my point of view. It's just an amazing game that catches almost anyone's attention and makes you wanna keep playing it more and more. You'll be caught up even if you don't have "playstation 2" or "X-box" graphics, its just a very good story line combined with RPG play.
