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

Love seeing where the game started. It also amazes me to see how far graphics have come along.

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.

Not as good as the original Final Fantasy for NES, but is comparable. Definitely will provide hours of fun. The graphics are sharper and cleaner, which doesn't give it the NES feel, but definitely a Playstation type of game. Great game overall, can't beat the original Final Fantasy.

This game is great. It's an excellent chance to play through Final Fantasy 1 and 2 in the same package for a good price. However, amazon makes it seem like it is the original packaging everywhere the product is shown but when I got my copy, it's the "greatest hits" packaging. The case that the game was in was cracked in multiple places too. I'm still happy with the game itself but usually amazon is better than that.
