Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Typical of me, I've been playing the Final Fantasy series backwards, starting with FFX, then FF7-9, and now the two games in cluded in this set, Final Fantasy I and II.The effect is, that as I move backwards, I get to see the beginnings of the ideas that later come to fruition.Since this series is noted for the originality of each issue, it is the little common themes, like Chocobos and wizard hats that make the entirety something magical.And here is where they all began.
Of course, Final Fantasy I itself is derivative.All long time PC and Atari gamers remember the beginnings of Origin Systems' Avater series with starry eyes.Little characters dancing about a world map, asking questions, falling into dungeons, and saving the world.When FFI first booted up I had a massive nostagia moment - the structural similarities are unmistakeable.Even so, FFI is unique in world concept and plot, improving on the formula enough to be an instant success and rescue a game vendor from impending bankruptcy.While it is primitive in many ways, it started an RPG revolution for the game console world.
From a production viewpoint, FFII is head and shoulders above FFI.The artwork is much more detailed.To the point that some of the monsters and background scenes are quite remarkable, and several of the characters actually have something that resembles a personality.The downside of ths is that the world is a bit smaller, and the story a bit shorter - but not in any harmful sense.While I think the FFI is probably the better game, FFII is really the first clear hint of what was to come as the series developed.And it helped to create the momentum behind one of the most successful franchises in gaming.
What Squaresoft did in repackaging these games is revise the graphic, especially the CGI cut scenes, and rework the music.In addition several new freatures - a bestiary and a collection of Amano Yoshitaka's original are for the series.This is one of the best jobs of resurrecting something old and making it as much fun as it was originally that I have ever seen.For the price, this is one of the best game sets one can buy.
