My first impression of FF Origins...

Luvian · 04-22-2003, 10:04 PM

At first I thought they had simply put FF 1 and 2 on a cd-rom and sold them as is, but I was wrong.

Both games have been upgraded. The graphics look a lot better, the menuwas redone, you can now run in town and dungeons, there are demos, new musics, and some hidden features.

The graphics are the equivalent of Final Fantasy 6 (3US). The fights look a LOT betters, and you can't attack dead monsters anymore. You can also enter names longer than 4 letters now. [img]smile.gif[/img] Oh! they even added real dialogues!

They also added an easy mode. First, I started a normal game, then as I played, I remembered the complete days I spent hunting around crescent lake to be able to afford all the necessary items and spells, so I started an easy game instead and the items in the first town were only in the 4-8 gp range. If you just want to replay FF1 for nostalgia, and don't feel like losing a month of your life, then the easy mode is the way to go.

What console is it on?

Does it cost the same as a (PS2?) game?

it's on PSX. cheaper than a PS2 game.

I remember buying FFVI not too long ago (mainly for the FFX demo [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) for £12.99

Here are some screenshots of the game.

Yes, they are really screenshots of FF1 and 2. [img]smile.gif[/img]

It looks pretty good! [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] I'm glad Square/Enix actually re-did the 2 games instead of a direct port.

Edit- Found a few screenshots of the original Final Fantasy 1!

Compare the shots below to the shots in the link above [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img]
