Final Fantasy Origins (PlayStation, 2003)

This is a very good update of two classic rpg's. Additional cgi screens and expanded scenes make both games seem fresh.

I like it because you can pick your character and battle creatures. The weapons are cool and overall, the game is alot of fun.

This is an excellent remake of the original versions. I popped in the old NES versions of these games after playing Origins, and the graphics (which I've never had issue with before) looked archaic! Square did a good job of making things look good without ruining anything. Anyone that makes use of the "Memo Save" feature in this version is cheating themselves out of the challenge though. That should have been omitted.

As of this writing, Final Fantasy I plays on the PS3, but Final Fantasy II does not. FFII freezes when a character is brought back to life at a temple, and during a cutscene several hours into the game. Consider FFII to be 100% PS3-incompatable. This isn't the game's fault - it's Sony's.

Final Fantasy. So named because if it hadn't taken the gaming world-- at least the gaming world in Japan-- by storm, there would be no more Square. Graphics 9: Each of the characters are shown with great detail, they even have art work you can get while going through the game, along with the monsters you come across. The towns have a new look to them also, with each of the npc's with great detail too. The detail they put into the background was really amazing compared to the older one. The magic has been well designed too. The monsters are more of a wide variety also, even though you will run into the same enemy just different colors. The land seems to be detailed well too, because they are true colors instead of just random colors the system can handle. Game play 10: For Final Fantasy the battles are like they used to be - turn based. But unlike Final Fantasy II, FF has the leveling system, which you should be used to. They have two different kinds of magic's white, which is the curative magic, and black which is more of an elemental damage magic. Another set of characters is the monk, whom goes against everything, unlike a warrior this type of character can have better attack and defense without having any items equipped to them. The warrior is one of the most basic characters which are one of the best. He can equip any item and still be strong. Along with these is a thief, whom you can have run from enemies. But they have nowhere near the attack of the warrior, all they seem good for is luck and their speed, but with that luck and speed they can help you escape from battles easier. When you advance farther in the game you can have these characters upgrade, which will make their stats go up. In the beginning of FF II you notice there are four different characters running from their town which has been set on fire, they are the four main characters you see. The first one I will mention is Firion he was orphaned at a young age, he was adopted by the parents of Maria and Leon, and he grew up with them and considers them his real family. Maria is Leon's sister, Leon goes a separate path at the beginning of the game and you are to track him down. The last one is Gus, he was a childhood friend of the three and he tends to use his muscles more than he does his brain, he is one of the strongest of the group, but he isn't very bright. Unlike FF this game has actual characters to fit a story line, which can be a good thing. In FF II there are no levels you gain more status as you move on with the game. But like FF there is the same kind of magic, you buy it and you can equip it to anybody in this game really. But there are not separate classes in this game so it goes with who gets it first keeps it. They all have their own sort of weapons. The battling isn't much different than any other FF except you don't get any experience at the end of the battle. Sound 10: The sound is really great in this game. The soundtrack on FF is better than of FF II in my opinion. The voice acting on the FF II video was really good and the rest of the noises where okay. This is a really great game and if you don't have it I highly suggest that you go out and buy it.

I had never played Final Fantasy until a couple of years ago and I am saddened that I had missed out on it until then! I owned a Super Nintendo when I was little but always played the Mario games and never tried these. I highly recommend you play it and own it but I will warn you it's very addicting!

I've been a fan of the Final Fantasy series since the original Final Fantasy was released. Now I can re-live some of those memories with Final Fantasy Origins. I'm really impressed with how they have given Final Fantasy new life, plus I get to play one of the previously unreleased to the US games in english as well. A must have for any Final Fantasy fan!

This is a great remake of the BEST Final Fantasy in the entire series. The first Final Fantasy is the best because you get to pick out your party. I prefer to be able to choose my party not be "stuck" with the "Hero" of the writers choosing. Square did just enough to give the original game slightly better graphics, without making the the game hinge upon how good the graphics are. Games are about how well they play not how they look.

A great pair of games that will surely please any RPG player. Plenty of fun little quests, and wonderful storylines.

Shipping was fast. Product was great. We had been wanting this game for an updated system (playstation) and we couldn't be happier with it.

Final Fantasy Origins is simply a must have because there the Final Fantasys of the game series. These games also have great story lines (like the other Final Fantasys) these two may not have the best graphics but a real RPG player would look beyond that and enjoy the game

Everything turned out great, item was in better condition than i thought it would be in and shipping was great also.

I like video games but in particular final fantasy games, and I saw this game that was NEW and it was CHEAP so I decided to buy it.

Although i have yet to open it and do not know what condition the games are in, i have multiple complaints with the game.

1. It is not an origional black label release it is a greatest hits, the games picture and description advertise it as a black label origional release.
2.The game does not appear to be brand new there is no cd case sealing playstation sticker which is found on every new compact disc case, and the packaging appears to be redone, and therefore not origional.
3.The case is cracked not a big deal , but not happy about it.

The only reason that i am not giving completely poor feedback is because it is the game i wanted,the game was relatively cheap before shipping, and shipping was fast. I want to be contacted as soon as possible to try and resolve this discrepancy.

GREAT EBAY EXPERIENCE. QUICK DELIVERY. EVERYTHING WAS AS IT WAS DESCRIBED IN THE DESCRIPTION. A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The game arrived quickly and without hassle. I got a great price for a game that I can't find anywhere but the internet. The quality of the game is great. No stratches. I did find a small crack in the case, but that could have been from shipping, and besides the case doesn't matter near as much as the game.

The product was delivered within three days after purchase and was in mint condition. They are classic final fantasy games remade for playstation and i am thrilled to have found such a great deal.

I purchased this for use on the PS3 80G. Just so everyone knows....FF2 will not work due to a glitch in one of the cutseens. When you get to the airship it will take off in the air and once you leave the cave that your it will automatically freeze every single time.

I love Final Fantasy games, this is where it all started, and with the revamp of the graphics and the addition of the "memo file" this is a pretty good package. Sure its been out a while, but if your like me, and just have not gotten around to getting the reissue yet, its worth the $12 (or whatever).

good ole final fantasy. plays just like the original i played on the nes millions of years ago. graphics are old school and pixelated but the game remains ever so playable and still fun. a must have for any FFF (final fantasy fan). ;)

I've never played any of the Final Fantasy games before, but lately I've been picking up old PS1 games for family-play on our PS2.

As loyal readers of 8-Bit-Theater, my boy and I are already familiar with (a brilliantly satirized version of) the characters, world, and story-line of FF1, so getting to actually play this low-tech classic ourselves is a blast.

The graphics are fairly minimal (despite having been upgraded during the port to PS1), some of the menu mechanics are a bit clunky, and all of the palace guards all say the same thing over and over (to which my boy and I always reply, "I like swords!"), but the raw retro of this primeval work is what we are looking for...

Well, what It's what _I'm_ looking for, at least. Seven-year-olds don't really have a nostalgia base to work from. For him, it's an straightforward adventure game with easy-to-learn controls, where he gets to level up fighting monsters using characters he already knows and loves.

We bought the game for FF1, so I don't have much to say about FF2. I'm sure the "revered artifact of gaming history" aspect of it will be very educational, for both of us.

In any case, like many PS1 games played on a PS2, you will need to have a PS1 memory card in order to save your games. I've run into this issue before, on games that I don't bother saving (e.g. the original WipeOut), but since this isn't a single-sitting game, a memory card is a must.

At the time of this writing, a 1MB (aka "15 block") PS1 Memory card runs about $5, once S&H is worked in, so be sure to factor that in to your calculations, if you don't already have one.

Recieved item sooner than expected, in perfect shape, communicated well I would give him a 10 out of 10 on service veryy well done!

my collection is almost complete and because i would never pass up a great deal such as this I am now very proud to say I own a brandnew copy of Final Fantasy Origins Thank U

Anybody who as played a Final Fantasy knows that it has XII installments in the main series and XIII coming out. I don't know about many but I got into the series during the playstation 1 era. So when I heard that they had released the first two Final Fantasy's I had to get it. now enough about the history of the game onto the review. The classics are reborn with the color seen on the SNES and Cinema's only a couple but enough to make it awesome. The game features the classic level up system that RPG fans have come to like and be familiar with. Final Fantasy one features the light warriors facing the destruction of their world and are sent to awake all of the crystals and save the world. One thing that might get on the nerves of people about the game, is you will have to do alot of grinding it is not a bad thing but some do not like that. Final Fantasy II will require its fair share of grinding as well and quite a bit of running around to get money. The story is about and Empire who is trying to take over the world, with many sacrifices of people in the game. If you are an old-school RPG fan you must pick this up if you can find it. I recommened to anybody who loves Final Fantasy Games
