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. Final Fantasy Origins on the PS1 has a long list of improvements over the original, besides the more obvious graphics update, they fixed a lot of the bugs and various other knick-knacks that were overlooked the first time around.

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, and most recently, Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls for the Game Boy Advance.

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. While this guide covers all of the elements common to all versions, you should consult a different guide for the new dugeons and enemy information in Dawn of Souls.
