[flower_sky67]

In my case the entire game was tough you can toggle lots of things on and off in PS1 version like dash and auto target or pheonix downs i dont remember getting or finding any of these...



Bro what version you played? I would like to play it PS1 had you with only 2 items


INSANE no white mage?

Gba and all boss weapons have spell which when you use them as item they cast spell! In fact when there was two many enemies I even use my monk warrior to Cast best damaging spell in white magic.
In fact I played final fantasy 1+2 on gba!

If you're struggling at all in ff1 all you have to do is grind a couple levels and you'll be good

I beaten the game at lvl 35 was enough it seems i did grind near MT gulug

Your posts have made me actually go back and look stuff up about the ps1 version and you're full of shit about most of the things you've been saying. There are 12 items in the ps1 version that cast 10 different spells and the magic bugs were fixed for the ps1 version.

Hmm then my bad i miss remember few stuff....

Mt. Gurug's pretty annoying in all the versions except the pixel remaster. Honestly if you find any of the versions of ff1 difficult at all just play the pixel remaster. I literally used auto battle for the entirety of the game, including bosses, after marsh cave and barely had to think about anything at all. That's without using any of the cheat features.

I don't remember my level but I remember I finish all the bonus dungeon. A really like the phantom train and death boss give you lightsword.

I dislike this sort of things like auto battle and such features that remove some aspects of the game , i played on normal cuz i wanted that FF1 OG experince so thats why it was pretty hard , and i prefer hard games over easy ones cuz they provide a challenge and FF1 managed to keep the diffculty curve at the same level all the time so it was never easy or super hard , unlike FF2 which after a certain point the game became trivial

No I mean the pixel remaster was so easy it required basically no human input to complete. I didn't even have to grind. It was literally walk from place to place, press the a button or hit auto battle, use some potions after the fight, repeat until the end. My black and white mages did pretty much nothing all game. I barely had to look at the screen a lot of the time.

FF2 is just broken and the SaGa series is a vast improvement of the systems introduced in FF2. The series was created by the director of FF2.

And thats the problem...

They could remake FF2 and make it actually good but alas square would never invest into the black sheep of the franchise since its risky to put in so much effort to make a bad game a good one just imagine how FF2 would look like if it had FF7 rebirth graphics and more.... About SaGa games i will give them a shot see if they any good

I agree.

FF2 isn't really worth remaking. The narrative style was done better in FFIV and the Kawazu moved onto the SaGa series. Kawazu's mentioned in interviews that the team that made FF3 just didn't understand the system he created for FF2. If it were ever to be remade it would probably because Kawazu wants it remade. He's moved up into upper management.at Square now hence why the SaGa series gets a lot better treatment with their remakes and remasters than Final Fantasy does.

If you do try the SaGa series I'd recommend starting with Romancing SaGa 2, Romancing SaGa 3, Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song or Saga Frontier 1. The system in those games is most similar to FF2's.

With a remake you can flip things upside down and nobody will care cuz its looked down upon so you can change the narrative but keep the main element that is empire of palamecia waged war of conquest against 33 nations but in that element add stuff , there is a lot you can do in a FF1/FF2 remake just based on art images i have 0,0001% a remake for FF2 happens so lets wait few years...

The SaGa series is a lot like Final Fantasy, the games are standalone and they all play very differently from eachother. There are three SaGa games on the Gameboy released as Final Fantasy Legend 1,2 and 3 in North America. They're a bit clunky and old and not a very good representation of the rest of the series. There are three Romancing Saga games on the snes. The first one is a broken mess that was remade for the ps2 as Minstrel Song. The second Romancing SaGa received a recent 3d remake that's probably the best intro to the series as a newcomer. It features a generational system. Romancing SaGa 3 is probably the closest to a traditional jrpg if it was chopped up into pieces. SaGa Frontier 1 is more like a bunch of short stories crammed together. Frontier SaGa 2 is more linear featuring only 2 protagonists.

Ahh wait so i missed something here the words "romancing" and "frontier" mean something? Thought they all meant refered to the same 3 games

The Romancing SaGa games were the three released originally on the Super Famicom. Romancing SaGa 1 is actually the 4th SaGa game. Frontier 1 would be the 7th SaGa game.

Warrior and Monk combo is fun with a white and black mage, keep your Monk without weapons or main armor, cant remember if accessories affect his attack and armor stats though. 'Peninsular of Power' takes all the fun out of the early to mid game in my opinion. Explore and talk to everyone. Grinding is a must for a normal playthrough experience but that's what early JRPGs are all about and I enjoy that aspect.

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

So did OP beat FF1?

 

[χKai]

Solo it
Then when you master the GBA version, play the NES version until you master that, and solo it too.

Still mad about losing my save file over 10 years ago when I just beat Tiamat while soloing Black Mage.

You can solo it? Absolutely crazy , btw what's good about the original release? Seems like an atrocious slow outdated piece of crap to me with horrendous looks and sounds straight up out of a recording of a washing machine

Well, I had it since I can remember so
It had a very fitting, melodic soundtrack with the sound capabilities of the NES which I suppose are not meant for everyone's ears, sadly.

Yeah i gotta say the real improvement came with the SNES when it comes to final fantasy music however when music was remade for PS1 and other re-releases FF1/FF2 manage to have very good soundtrack especially 2.

I prefer the haunting echoey drone of the Undersea Shrine theme from the original Final Fantasy

Wasn't it mistaken for the chaos shrine theme? Or this wasn't an issue in the original game? Cuz ps1 version has the water shrine theme swapped with the chaos one and the chaos shrine theme after you go back in time being the water one
