The FF Origins version owns the original any day!

[Peter_20]

Alright, this game has a tendency to keep me completely hooked when I decide to give it a try again; wherefore I've been playing this like a maniac for some days now.
However, I tried the Origins version of this one, and I must say this version completely blows the original into the water big-time.
There are several reasons as to why this version is superior, the graphics being a vital point; for let's be honest: graphics do affect the overall feeling in a game.
There's no denying that detailed chars and actual battle backgrounds make a great difference.
Also the game flows much better and feels much "cleaner", if you follow me.
Instead of having to deal with boring magic animations that take forever we get COOL, FAST magic animations, and now we can actually cast this spell on those 8 enemies without fearing a major tedium.
The menus rock as well: you can sort your items very easily, and everything just seems generally easier.
There's even a Dash function, at least if you play the Easy Mode.
And let's not forget the soundtrack: all compositions sound extremely nice, and I especially liked the addition to the Overworld Theme: this addition possessed a dark, secret atmosphere, and it fits very well with the rest of the melody.

This version is indeed very well executed, I must say.
Now I'll have to play this version some more.
