First of all, let me just congratulate anyone who has beaten the original FF1 and FF2 that were released on Nintendo. You guys must be true RPG nerds without a life. I never played any of the original versions. I started getting into RPGs on PlayStation. I was really excited when I heard the news that Square was going to release a remake version of the original FF1 and FF2, until I started playing the game.
Square updated the original 8-bit graphics to 16-bit. There are also few minor changes that are added into this remake. A very crucial feature has been installed in this remake version. Without this feature, I don�t think I would ever finish these two games. For the first time, a memo save is added. This allows you to temporarily save the game anywhere.
Be honest, I had merely no enjoyment during the early stage of the games. Square made them too hard that they sucked all of the fun out of them. There will be tons of random battles. You�ll probably need to save between each battle, and you will also be doing tons of soft resetting until they frustrate the hell out of you, then you finally decide to quit.
Well, if you manage to endure all the pain you�d suffer early on, the games shift to a much easier stage towards the end when your characters become stronger, and you�ve acquired better equipments.
All in all, these two games are not for everyone. They are only recommended for hardcore RPG players or old school RPG players. If you�re just a beginner in RPG or anyone who�s looking for an RPG for entertainment, NO! HELL NO! these are not the games for you.
