the importance of tv games isn't always the reality of CG
Certainly, even if this game was remaked, the reality of CG and sound etc will be inferior to Final Fantasy7~10etc. But in Japan, the purpose that the game was remaked isn't just reality demanded to PS2 XBOX etc... many Japanese geme fans know about them very much. In Japanese, new age geme fan will deny this game, because they do not know the Final Fantasy1~2.The reality do not dare to be needed in this game, that is to say, the things demanded in the game will be the things that the game is made faithfully like the Family computer Final Fantasy1/2 about 20 years ago.
Japanese old fans of Final1~2 wanted to feel the sweet memories again when I felt in child age. That is to say, I wantede to feel Nosatalgia. That is the most importanct thing in this game. That is like as if I go back to my hometown after an interval of many years. In Japan or USA, if there are people that deny this game, maybe you will be teenagers. When I listened to the music of a secret base of operations or field of this game, I was very moved so that I had gooseflesh. Because this game was great historical game of Japanese games, I exprienced such moving again. Thank you for reading poor English.

Oh Square, where did you go wrong???
Okay, let me start by saying I'm the biggest FF fan in the world. No question. But this game was like all old and {edited} and stuff. Nothing near the greatness that is FINAL FANTASY 7. The graphics are all terrible, nothing like FF7's. Did they think us super fans wouldn't notice how terrible this was if they just put two terrible games in the package? Shame on you Square. I don't know how I'm ever going to forgive you...

One good game out of two..
The remake of Final Fantasy 1 is done very well, with new sound and graphics, and other extras, but the remake of FF2 wasn't so good. I had never previously played FF2 and after playing it here I realized I hadn't missed much at all. But the remake of FF1 is worth the whole package...plus you get an extra game to try out. Recommended for people who liked the original NES RPGs or anyone looking to try the original FF.

This's got a good deal. 2 awesome games for the price of 1!
First off, i like the fact on how good of a price they gave it. I liked the first version of both, so i wondered what changes they put in. ill give the graphics a 4/5 because they arent the greatest graphics, but the cg was added on. Gameplay i give 3.5/5 OK maybe the experience points may be a little high, but the FF1 for ya. Characters 5/5 you'll love the fact you get to choose your OWN party, and even NAME each character. Storyline ill give a 4.5/5 the reason i didn't give it a perfect score, was how the last boss came to be. I uh, couldn't get it. Either way it's still a good game. But an awesome fact is that you could switch from the remade mode, to the original mode in the config menu. I was like WOW that is like awesome! but the I realized if that was put in I could switch it to remade mode before bosses, which was really sweet. And i really have to admit this: your character will look AWESOME when they get their class changed (Warrrior to knight, thief to Ninja, Monk to Master, Red, white, black to red , white, black wizards.) {edit} when your characters class changes, they can use different equipment.( except for the monk because he doesnt equip ANYTHING, well, partially, but he can still die easily in boss battles like with the marlith) Right now, my party is Knight, Ninja< White, Black wizards. I still like the fact they have that time portal thing there. {edit
}FF2:
I liked this more then the 1st one. I liked how it was a ... bit similar to how the characters attributes are like the sphere grid from FFX, only automatically. Charcters i give a 5/5 becuase the fact you get different charcters in place of Leon is awesome,{EDIT} Storyline a 3/5 i hate the fact how they say the monsters are from another dimension, and ... Graphics are the same as the 1st one. But i also have to add sumthin to gameplay{edit} I also liked how they added a bestiary for both. {EDIT}

Should've been a GBA port
Final Fantasy Origins is a nice game really...but not for the playstation, and not because the PSX doesn't receive any new games... but this agme is all 16-bit and everything. Which means it would've been better served as a GBA port rather than a PSX port. The graphics, as I said are 16-bit. I like that they're not 8-bit graphics anymore, which is a big plus really. I don't mind 16 bit on a 32 bit console, but the GBA is already receiving several 16-bit ports as it is. The PSX is also last generation. If this had been ported to the PS2 I suppose people would've been expecting more of an upgrade. The sound has been changed for the worst it seems. It isn't bad in FFII but in FFI it doesn't sound great. The original NES version had much better sound. FFII has great music and tunes even if it was changed from the original. The gameplay is another thing that strikes me. I'm sure that for the time of these two games release they were exciting and fun. But in this common era they don't exactly stand the test of time like other classics would. The gameplay is kind of boring, with FFI's slow paced story and FFII's annoying character raising system. It's just hard to get into these two games. FFI you get ambushed too much and FFII doesn't use the 'level up system'. Instead FFII has a sort of 'whatever you do is what increases.' So if you use a lot of physical attacks your attack goes up. If you take a lot of damage your defense and HP go up. Sound good right? Not exactly. For each time stats go up, other stats go down. If your character has a lot of strentgh then they won't be able to use much magic. It's annoying to play an RPG where you can't balance a characters stats. The story of both games can be enticing. FFI has an interesting story and all but it paces to slow. FFII has a fast paced story but it doesn't hook you. Also, these are first generation RPG's. They're great for the early days of the late 80's and early 90's but its surprising that a game like Super Mario Bros. 3 can stand the test of time and these can't. FFI has been ruined considerably. The sound has changed and while a few small tweaks have been fixed (you can now dash and it auto-targets) Square didn't do enough to revamp it for this new era. So I say these could've faired better on the GBA. I'm sure that they could've made better use of the hardware that way. FFOrigins also doesn't have many extras like Anthology and Chronicles did. This isn't a bad buy but it suffers from its bad replay value, slow story pacing and the fact that it just can't stand the test of time as well as other remakes have.
