Final Fantasy Origins
Easily the most improved game in the series, the new Final Fantasy is still the most basic. A simple tale of four legendary warriors out to unite the four magical crystals while kicking major enemy ass, FF1 definitely shows its roots in the 8-bit era. Active Time Battle systems, the ability to steal, or even an abundance of dialogue is seriously lacking here, and when compared to the first 16-bit game in the series (Final Fantasy IV), the design is a bit archaic. What Final Fantasy I does have, though, is an abundance of old-school exploration and level building with updated visuals and MIDI-quality music. It may not sound like much to get excited about at first, but once you sit down to play it, one will quickly realize why this game sold so many copies in the first place -- it's addictively fun. |
