Final Fantasy classics

A collection of Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II.

Final Fantasy
A solid rpg. Sweet and simple. It's a bit challenging because it's a couple decades old. The story here is not much but if you like classic rpg's than this game has great game-play. Its got classes to choose from, class evolution, random turn-based battles, multileveled dungeons, world map, all the basic spells, and towns to gather information in but interestingly the bosses are all really easy. You're biggest struggle will just be getting through all the random battles. This was my first time playing both of these games and Final Fantasy is a definitely a solid classic. It's stood the test of time. You can't enjoy it for the story but it is a fun game so in that sense it's very nontraditional Final Fantasy. There's also some fanservice: a bestiary, some extra artwork, and a item collection counter. The bestiary and item collection features are actually extremely useful. You can use the bestiary to see the weakness of enemies you defeated and the item collection will show you how many chests you have left to open in a dungeion.

Final Fantasy II
I'm not done with game yet but I have to say I'm not enjoying this game as much as Final Fantasy. The story is light years ahead of the first game but the leveling system is horrible. It's not unplayable. It's actually pretty easy because you can level up what ever stats or spells you want to be strong but it is still very time consuming and broken. The story is good though for an old game like this. I'm having fun with the game but I would actually think this is an amazing game if it just had a regular leveling system. Might as well play it though. If you're buying this you probably are a Final Fantasy fan so you've got to play this.

This is the game that got me hooked on RPG

This is the game that got me hooked on RPG video games. Decades later it's still one of the best games ever. Jody Bissoon

These games are probably great when they came out but more has come out recently. Final Fantasy 1 and 2 are hard games that are hard to play without a strategy guide. The story line are good however. Play this final fantasy Final Fantasy X

I have been a fan of the Final Fantasy series since FF7 came out. I never got a chance to own or play Origins, so this was a treat for me. As long as you keep your expectations in line with the era that these games were produced, you will thoroughly enjoy this game. I kepp telling myself that thos was originally made for the SNES system, and it blows me away.It takes me back to the original days of Dungeons and Dragons of the late 70's, early 80's. Things were much simpler then, and this game is a refreshing piece of nostalgia. I recommend it to anyone with the right mindset.

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.

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! :)

Great game!

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.

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.

Fun for all the original Final Fantasy fans

Fun for all the original Final Fantasy fans. I played the original when I was a kid and now the remake has improved upon the original while still sticking to the original story plan. If you enjoyed th eoriginal as much as did you will love this with its remade video sequences and enhanced playability.
