If you're a true Final Fantasy fan, then I stongly recommend that you get Final Fantasy Origins. It contains the first two Final Fantasy games, which don't seem to be very popular, but I like them and keep in mind that these two were really popular in their time.The graphics are a slight improvement from the original versions, and both Final Fantasies are different in ways. They both start of with naming the characters. The first Final Fantasy is also the first to introduce the job class system. This one begins with you selecting your four warriors. The options are the following:Warrior - strong fighter. Skilled with a sword.Thief - warrior with the ability to steal of enemies.Monk - Ninja like fighterBlack Mage - a warrior who can cast black magic spells (Bolt,Ice, Fire, ect).White Mage - a warrior who can cast white magic spells (Cure, Esuna, Life, etc).Red Mage - a warrior that can use both black and white magic. Red Mages however have less varieties of magic to use then the white or black mage.Selecting your warriors can be tricky. Here's my advice. Have a white mage (useful with healing and works out cheaper for potion shopping). A black mage is also useful, for some enemies have an elemental weakness. Having a warrior is also useful as they're strong fighters. It doesn't matter who your fourth warrior is, as long as you have a black mage, a white mage and a warrior.Unlike the later Final Fantasy games, the warriors have no names. If you have trouble thinking of names, then name them after later Final Fantasy characters. EG: I always call the black mage Vivi, who was the black mage character in Final Fantasy IX.Final Fantasy II in many ways is better. It has a better storyline for starters and your party members have their own personalities (unlike the light warriors in Final Fantasy 1). This is also the first Final Fantasy to introduce the Chocobo and the character Cid, who in most Final Fantasy games is an engineer or a pilot. Final Fantasy VIII I think is the only one where Cid isn't involved with piloting or enginering.The stats improvement is different in this game also. In any other Final Fantasy you would gain a certain amount of EXP (Experience Points). When a character's EXP would reach 0, then your character would level up and his/her stats would increase (HP/MP/Strength/Vitality/etc). In this your actions in battle determine your stats increase.For instance attacking in battle would increase your sword/bow/axe/etc skill. Using magic would cause magic increase, and using MP would cause MP to increase. Loss of HP would cause your characters' HP to increase, so taking damage in battle can be a good thing in this game.Like Final Fantasy 1, this game begins with naming your characters, with two differences; 1 - your characters are already selected, so you don't have the option of choosing your own. 2 - your characters already have their own names. Final Fantasy was first released in 1987 followed by a second one (a year or two later). The second one wasn't a sequal to the first, but a completely different adventure, in a similar world, with different characters.The Final Fantasy games have remained that way since and are all true classics (except Final Fantasy X-2. What a waste of time that game was).Final FantasyThe world had been shrouded in darkness for some time. Four light warriors arrive, who have been prophecised to restore balance to the world. To do that they must defeat the four elemental fiends and restore the radiance to the crystals. Good prologue, weak storyline, but fun to play.Final Fantasy IIThe evil emperor of Palamecia has formed his own empire and has begun taking over the world. At the start of the game his empire attacks and seizes control of the town Fynn. Four youths named Firion, Gus, Leon and Maria escape into the woods. They are ambushed by soldiers and wounded.The rebellion (formed by the king of Fynn) find Firion, Maria and Gus (Leon isn't found) wounded and unconcious. They are brought to the headquarters in the nearby town of Altair, where the rebels were recently forced to retreat to. There the three youths join the rebellion in their war against the evil Palamecian empire. A great game with a good storyline. Better than the first.Some people say that this one is about four youths using crystals to defeat the empire. Where those people got that idea from I do not know, because Final Fantasy II isn't even remotely about crystals in anyway. Either those people are stupid, or they haven't played this game and assumed it was about crystals, as most of the early Final Fantasies are about crystals, or people got this one confused with another Final Fantasy. I know this one isn't about crystals becuase I completed this not that long ago and I have a good memory with Final Fantasy games.Both Final Fantasy games are good games and addictive to play. Not to be missed by any Final Fantasy fan.

When I first started gaming, I knew straight away that I was going to be a fan of the RPG genre. I'd only played a couple of games but as I began to learn more and more about the hobby and the games out there, I came across a series which I would suppose most people would call the Holy Grail of RPGs and that series is Final Fantasy.After hearing so much about the series, instead of starting with the most recent game, I decided to go back to where it all began and so bought Final Fantasy: Origins. This includes both the first and second on two separate disks.I'll review the two games in separate paragraphs to give you a better idea of what's in which.Final Fantasy 1:Plot: Only a vague plot to be found.Basically a fight between good and evil but there's so much dungeon crawling in between each stage that it's quite easy to forget what's happening.The main grab of the game is like with most RPGs where you have to kill stuff to level, receive money and obtain loot. The higher in level you get the better chance you have of taking on harder monsters that drops something even better. It's a case of keep repeating going through the games dungeons until your ready to take on the games end boss.Graphics: They are in the style of a GBA game so quite dated but I find that style quite enjoyable still. There are some CGI (computer-generated imagery) included in certain moments of the game which are still quite impressive in this day and age but they are a rare thing.Controls: I actually played it on the PS2 so the whole of the controller wasn't put to its best use however the commands were very easy to get to grips with. X for selections, triangle to bring up the menu, O to back out of your selection and the arrow keys to move. These buttons are the only thing you need to know to play the game.I've just finished the first one and I loved every minute of it. Yes it can be a bit punishing at time with the whole save system but it makes you think more about reserving your characters in a fight rather then just going in all guns blazing.Lifespan: Took me around the 30 hour mark to complete but that was including getting all the treasure in game as well doing all the quests and side quests. If you only wanted to do the bare minimum then I reckon it could possibly be got down to 20 hours.Overall: It was a great game for its time and still can be enjoyed even now. Even though some bits could be improved like the plot and repetitive nature of the game, it's these faults that give the game the charm it has. It you want to know where such a great series began then I would really recommend this.Final Fantasy 2:Plot: Unlike the first game, this one actually has a plot. Can't really say much without giving too much away but it's an enjoyable game to play through with twists, happiness and sadness throughout. True it may not hold up very well against more modern titles but for its time I could see it being near the top.Have to add that it's a little slow to start with as I spent my first ten hours or so pretty much grinding (killing monsters over and over again) simply for gold to purchase spells and gear but once that's been done, your free to work your way through the game without any more interruptions.Graphics: The same as the first but with a few improvements. The characters were a little clearer, the environment more detailed and the cut scenes were prettier too.Controls + Lifespan: The same as the first.Overall: Although I loved the first one, I loved this one even more. It's a great second game to the series taking the first game and improving everything they thought could be better.One of the great additions I found was the save points. Although I wasn't bothered by it, you could only save in an inn in the first but this time round you were allowed to save anywhere on the map. Additions like that streamline the whole experience for players.

When Sqaure decided to "give a little back" to the somewhat neglected PAL users who always seem to get the raw deal by releasing their remakes of Final Fantasy 1 and 2 in Europe before America, I, along with much of the European Final Fantasy Fraternity, was chuffed. Although it may seem like a cheap marketing ploy to some, Square really have made the effort this time giving us graphically re-mastered versions of the two classics, along with intro FMVs to boot. Yes the games are short, yes the early days of Final Fantasy were somewhat less-producive than recent achievments (sorry retro fanboys), and yes these games are completely out dated, but any FF fan should own this duo; they tell us more about the games that we have come to love,and make us appreciate the franchise even more.Of course, you'll whiz through FF1, and take a fraction longer to complete the second installment, but it is indeed satifying to revel in the fact that you have played and completed two videogames that were to change the face of RPG gaming forever.Well worth your hard earnt.

Once again FF has taken over my life. With the new games out and more oldies out with FF IV, V and IV avalible, Square has decided to bring out their classic games which have started a tremendous gaming series. FF 1 and 2 feature all of the mechanics of the old games. If you happened to get your hands on one of the older copies of the game, you'll first notice that the grpahics have been improved greatly. The graphics are now, almost the same as FF VI. Including all of the previous game mechanics, this will be a fresh start to anybody who has not played the game before.A great game and should not be over looked because of the graphics! Get buying it!

forget pokemonthis is the ONLY series where you need to have them all.. the only one im missing now is FF3.. but then i have that for DS sonot toomuch of an issue.. ive even played the online version (FFXi), on PC, xbox AND ps2... . a true legendary game that should be released as often as the football games! brilliant... purely.. BRILLIANT.. you can NEVER get enough of them!! i hope one day they could bring out an english version.. i.e. characters are called Tommy, Dave, Shelly etc.. and have potentially english cities but in a fantasy style. that would be good. but hey.. im not Square.. and they are perfect!

These two games have been wonderfully reproduced for the PS1, the original SNES style has been preserved but the graphics are sharper, a little more detailed and a lot more colourful than the SNES versions. While the storylines are simpler than the later games you have to remember that for their time these were astonishingly advanced games bringing a depth to console games only ever seen before in the rambling DOS epics of old. If you're a dedicated FF fan this is worth buying, it'll give you a good play through and make a good addition to your collection.

This game has a slightly dissapointing plot compared to the other final fantasys but the character types, weapons and armour styles and magic types make up for it. The travelling on this game is great and the graphics are slightly old now but nevertheless is stil a great game. This was the first final fantasy game i bought and just makes you want to get more. I recomend this to everybody, especially if you like old style games or if this is your first final fantasy game. The price on here is unbelievable for the two games so just go and buy it!

As stated in the title, the case is a little broken in that the CDs won't actually stay in their allocated areas, and one hinge is snapped, but I have a feeling these blemishes were obtained while the package was being delivered, as I found the snapped hinge within the actual parcelBut, being that I got the product not for the casing but for the actual game, the damage doesn't bother me in the slightest. Both games work fine on my slimline PS3 and are nigh immaculate. Very pleased with this purchase

Final Fantasy Origins is the best remake I have seen. I really like that they changed the music because it sounds a lot better. Final Fantasy I is, in my opinion, a lot easier than the original release in 1987. Final Fantasy II, I really don't have anything to say because I have never played the original release. If you asked me about this game I would say buy it. This is, of course, how the Final Fantasy franchise started.

12.3.2003

If you are a true Final Fantasy fan then this is a must - Experience for the first time ever the beginning of an era, with the new graphics, added CGs ( as good as Final Fantasy X),new beasts, exclusive artwork and a better battle system this game is brilliant. Complete your collection of Final Fantasy games, buy it!
