The remake of Final Fantasy 1 is done very well, with new sound and graphics, and other extras, but the remake of FF2 wasn't so good. I had never previously played FF2 and after playing it here I realized I hadn't missed much at all. But the remake of FF1 is worth the whole package...plus you get an extra game to try out. Recommended for people who liked the original NES RPGs or anyone looking to try the original FF.

Oldy but Goody

It was really nice to be able to once again be able to play the one game where all the new ff age was started. By all means much less hiped up like the newer versions, but still holds the player to the end.

better

I played FFI when i was around 5 years old. I am now 20 and was very excited to hear that they were re-releasing FF1 with FF2. I had played the japanese version of FF2, but never got anywhere.

The only unfortunate thing about this release, is that FF2 is just plain boring. The leveling system they have has too many holes in it, and leaves for extremely stale game play. You have to cast a spell a total of 50 times just to get it leveled up once. Very tedious. The enemies are extremely easy to kill, and the graphics were not even up to par with Final Fantasy 4 and 6.

But FF1 makes up for all of these mistakes. The remake is immaculate. The only thing i dont like is some renaming of enemies, but you'll get over it. The graphics are MUCH better than FF2, showing that FF2 was more of an add on than something they really put their heart into.

FF1 also has great gameplay that can only be compared to final fantasy 4 and 6. I feel these are the three greatest games in the series, although i do enjoy 8-10 quite a bit, but they just dont have that special place in my heart. If you haven't played FF1 then spend the 30 dollars on this re-release, it is perfect. If you are just expecting to play FF2 like i did . . . then forget it . . . really dissapointed in that.

5 stars for FF1, 2 For FF2 . . . i gave it all a 3.

just like a step back in the past

I know a lot of people harken fondly back to the days of 8 bit graphics, and pointless leveling up to visit places that all look exactly the same. I was drawn in by the promise of new CGI sequences. I was disappointed because the CGI was about the level of VIII and it was released in the US a lot closer to X. I guess if I get nostalgic, I'll keep playing, but I'd rather play something visually interesting.

Overall the game is a tad boring, and it takes a long time for stuff to really happen in FF1.

Final Fantasy I & Final Fantasy II are nothing special to me. They are very primative, made in 2D. Final Fantasy II is a lot better in it's origanal form on "Super Nintendo". Also the story lines are different in those two versions. It,s for little kids.

Okay, let me start by saying I'm the biggest FF fan in the world. No question. But this game was like all old and {edited} and stuff. Nothing near the greatness that is FINAL FANTASY 7. The graphics are all terrible, nothing like FF7's. Did they think us super fans wouldn't notice how terrible this was if they just put two terrible games in the package? Shame on you Square. I don't know how I'm ever going to forgive you...

Classics!

I remember playing Final Fantasy 1 then moving away to a secluded place where Nintendo didn't exist yet (Somewhere in Nevada) I went through FF withdrawls! I'd force my sisters to play make believe that we were searching for the legendary rat's tail. Anyway, that's getting off of the subject at hand! FF1 is a classic and gives all would be rpg gamers the basics on what a FF game is. There are alot of Square haters out there who would disagree, but it's the truth. Also, FF2 is cool. I've played it Via ROM and I haven't gotten that far (3 is amazing, what's up with Sqaure leaving that one overseas?) Anyway, FF2 is the FF to use closeups in the menu. It plays alot like FF1, but has more in it, such as you learn certain words that if you say to people at certain times, you will reveal a secret or a part of the story. I'm very anxious to get these both in one package. Supposedly Square beefed up the graphics for PSX, but I haven't seen any screenshots. If so, it'll be a whole new fF!!
