FF Origins Anyone?

Postby Towi Wakka » Mon Sep 22, 2003 8:48 am

This is a shout out to all old and new RPG players! Play FFOrigins! It consists of FF1 & FF2 with a ton of extras. I was so excited when this was released because FF1 for NES was the first RPG I played. It is much better. The only problem is that it lacks moogles... :shady:

I'll probably get it eventually as I am a Final Fantasy fan but it's not high on my list of games to get at the moment.

Hai hai! Final Fantasy:Origins is a great way to reminisce during gaming's early days. I am glad they revamped the graphics to look like it was intended for the SNES. However, I'm a tad grumpy. Square - yet again - changed the names of items and skills. :shady: Why must they change that too, hmm?

(Though the worst travesty is Square rewriting the scripts for FF2/4j and FF3/6j *sob*.)

Although I found it interesting that some fellow I've never heard of arranged Nobuo Uematsu's original NES music, I wasn't at all disappointed with the results (probably because Uematsu supervised it); the FF2 world map music arrangement is just beautiful.

I also like how the damage to multiple foes/allies is displayed over the original NES versions; in the NES versions, damage done to each foe/ally is shown only one at a time (very time consuming) but in the PS versions they're all shown at the same time like in FF3(j)+.

All in all, I think Square did a good job with the remakes; except I kind of miss the menu music from FF1 (NES).

Hey I jsut bought that game(s). I am still playing FFX, as I am a rather late convert to the series. They are simply brilliant.

Im sorry lordcyberdeath, but it is pretty hard to get PSX games in ROM format.

True, but it is possible to find the original NES Final Fantasy floating around on the net and I imagine there are fan translated copies of FF 2 and 3 somewhere out there.
