FF 1 & 2 Worth the Time?

[Butz]

FFI is totally worth it. FFII... well, you will like it, but FFI is just better o.o;

And... what's this leveling trick in FFII? XD

hitting yourself and finishing the battle in low hp, will rise your hp limit, consume mp and you'll rise your mp limit..

and the most important is leveling up your weapons, attack, then cancel with the next character, then choose to attack with the first character, keep on doing it in the same battle until you level up.. this was in the NES version, dunno 'bout the PSX and GBA versions..

You have to use MP in battle to raise your limit, right?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Yes, the select-cancel trick still works in Origins.

[Mirage]

But not in the GBA version.

For some reason I am the only one who likes ff2 better than ff1.

Play it.

If you have a GBA, FF: Dawn of Souls is an option.

That isn't really necessary, though. Just keep fighting battles with whatever weapon, and do not switch to a new type of weapon. Eventually, that weapon will be much stronger. And, yes, it's in the Origins version.

Definitely get Origins, but not the defecations on the GBA.

Final Fantasy 1 is possibly the most replayable RPG in history, with over 400 possible parties (and depending on your party, the game can be as quick as 15 hours or as long as 40 or more)

What's wrong with the GBA version?!!!

Both FF1 and FF2 are worth your time because although they are completely different from each other, they both offer something different from the other games. FF1 offers a real classic experience (whether on NES or on Emulator). It allows you to either play through the game easily (Fighter, Thief, White Mage, and Black Mage), give you a little more of a challange (Fighter, Monk, Thief, and White Mage/Black Mage), or it can seem impossible (White Mage). Instead of giving excellent gameplay FF2 specializes in plot basically. Learning the key terms and all of that is pretty original. It's just that the fighting is a little hard to catch onto but once you do it's really challenging. The GBA version is good but it just isn't the same as playing the originals.

I managed to grab a new copy of origins It now sits upon a stack of RPGs I have yet to play, the misses and I just had a baby and she is seriously cutting in on my play time The way I see it since I have yet to play FF I,II,IV,V,VI,IX and X-2 Im good till shes a teenager!

On a side note anybody dig into Dragon Warrior VII? YEP thats on the stack too. What did ya think of it?

[Del Murder]

I thought DWVII was pretty boring.

FFI and II are solid, but not like the other games.

Difficulty nerfed.
Regular MP usage.
Turbo Level-Up.
Ship Mini Game that gives you a lot of good items in the beginning of game.
Prices nerfed down.


DoS FFI is freaking easy. TOO EASY.

[Butz]

I think FF1 is a bit hard and items and equipments are too expensive, but that's just me..
