I hadn't played FF 1 since originally came out on NES. Fun to relive the nostalgia. The GBA version has graphical and audio upgrades and the inclusion of 4 optional bonus dungeons. I haven't played FF2 yet, and also excited as this will be my first time playing. I bought a CIB copy for close to $30. As a collector, I want at least the manuals for games, the box and inserts were in great condition, and will look great on display. Hopefully, this product will raise in value over time, as the gameplay is still a lot of fun.

Reviewed for Big Boss Games by: T.R.C. Final Fantasy I: You start out by selecting your four heroes. You can select from six different classes. The heroes will change after you complete a side quest that is about a third of the way through the game. Warrior = Knight Thief = Ninja Monk = Black Belt White Mage = White Wizard Black Mage = Black Wizard Red Mage = Red Wizard My team consisted of a Warrior, Monk, Black Mage and a White Mage. This group is the most balanced between strength and magic. You will have to buy your spells. So save your money! Story 6/10 - The story was re-written with much more detail than the original Nintendo version. Music 7/10 - You will find yourself humming along to the background music. Graphics 6/10 - The graphics were updated from the original Nintendo days. Looks more like an SNES game. Battle System 5/10 - Your typical turn based battle system with updated spell graphics. Game play 6/10 - This game took me 25 hours to complete. Special Feature - In the original NES Final Fantasy you had to walk everywhere you went. In this wonderfully remade version of Final Fantasy they added the run button. Hold it down and you can run. This cuts down on travel time in towns and dungeons. Overall 7/10 - For Final Fantasy I, all the updates to this game have truly made a great game into a classic. Final Fantasy II: Your party will consist of four people. Three of them will stay with you throughout the game, but the forth member will change throughout the game. You start with Firion, Maria, and Guy. The forth wheels are: Leon - A Dark Knight Minwu - A White Wizard Josef - A Monk Gordon - A Prince Ricard - A Dragoon Leila - A Pirate Captain You will have complete control over how you mold your team. So, take some time to think how you want them to grow. "E.g. to be a wizard or a sword fighter?" You will be fighting a lot in this game, so take some time to attack your own team with your spells and weapons. This will help your team members to grow strong and powerful. You don't gain experience points in this game, you grow by casting spells, fighting, and taking damage. Story 8/10 - This game has betrayal, revenge and redemption. This game was well written and a delight to read. So far, this is my third favorite Final Fantasy story. Music 6/10 - I enjoyed the midi style of music that was used in this game. Game play 6/10 - This game took me 22 hours to complete the main quest. Graphics 6/10 - Were like some of the best graphics seen on the SNES. Eye candy is out there for you to find. The spells also gain levels by using them over and over, by doing so the animations also become flashier every 2 to 3 levels. Battle system 5/10 - Typical turn based attack system. Note: Building your team is slow and painful, but well worth the effort. Special Mention: After you complete Final Fantasy II watch the credits till they end and the game will ask you to save. Save your game and you will return to the main Final Fantasy II start screen with 3 options, "Congrats!" You just unlocked the "Soul of Rebirth" mini quest! This Soul of Rebirth side quest is tough, it also added 10 hours of game play and a great side story to Final Fantasy II. Overall Time: 32+ hours to finish this game and 57+ hours to finish Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls is a great length for a GBA game. I truly liked this game. It was a challenge to complete and that is its charm.Read full review
any RPG fan, dare i say, every gamer owes it to themselves to experience the origins of one of the most revered series in the history of gaming. there have been a number of releases of the first two Final Fantasy games over the years, but the GBA offering Dawn of Souls is easily the best. these games helped shape the RPG as we know it today. and being able to experience both classics on one cartridge is a definite plus. Final Fantasy delivers a classic, no frills RPG experience with plenty of fun and challenging battles, a memorable soundtrack, and plenty of areas to explore. Final Fantasy II is a level grinder's dream, offering an interesting level-system that will raise your stats based on your actions in battle. this, coupled with memorable characters and a gripping story make it one of the key games in the series. Final Fantasy: Dawn of Souls should have a place at the top of every RPG fan's collection.Read full review
Given the limited functionality of the sound chip in the GBA era, FFDoS did an amazing job of keeping its sound track sound incredible for each and every intense and amazing moment of the game play experience. Definitely worth getting if you don't have it already.

I loved playing final fantasy one on the original nintendo and its still fun. Everything from the original is still here only now its graphics have been updated to look like a super nintendo game. Now if you have Final fantasy origins for the playstation one then there really isn't too much more here to mess with. Just some extras like fighting against bosses from other final fantasy games. Also the playstation version have fmv movies that this one doesn't and you could choose a level of dificulty. It looks like this version is only the easier setting. Being able to play it anywhere is a gigantic plus though. I never played final fantasy two before so I can't compare. Its big difference to the first one is that you have three set characters and you level up differently then in Final Fantasy one. Instead of levels you just increase stats buy doing an action over and over. Personally I prefer to just level normally but it does let you create any kind of character you want. If you never played either of these then definetly buy it. If you have played the playstation one version or the original then only get it if the idea of playing the game again but on the move appeals to you.Read full review
