Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy I is the first game in Square's now long line of Final Fantasy games. It may not be the greatest RPG ever (though it was amazing at the time), but it's a fun, - and highly nostalgic for many - romp through the past. Created as the last ditch effort of Squaresoft in the hopes of making money. If it had flopped they would have been forced out of the gaming market, but it managed to be a hit both in Japan and in the US.

Years later the game would be re-released with improved graphics and audio for the WonderSwan Color. Squaresoft bundled the game with Final Fantasy II when they re-released the game Final Fantasy I-II for the Famicom, Final Fantasy Origins for the Playstation, Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls for the Game Boy Advance. The most recent update, Final Fantasy Anniversary Edition was for the PSP. Final Fantasy Origins on the PS1 has a long list of improvements over the original. Besides the obvious graphical improvements, they re-translated the game and fixed a lot of the bugs and various other odds and ends that were overlooked the first time around. Dawn of Souls and the Anniversary Edition made major changes to the gameplay and added new dungeons.

Note: This walkthrough is primarily based on the Final Fantasy Origins remake for the PlayStation (normal mode). The only major differences between the NES versions and Origins are name changes and a modifications to a few enemy stats. The Dawn of Souls edition has the same names as the Origins edition, but radically different stats and four new (optional) dungeons.
