Trivia

There are countless changes and improvements in this release compared to the two original games. Here are some of them:

The graphics have been updated to look like SNES titles

There are CG videos instead of text-only introductions of the originals

If a monster is killed in a battle, the next character will automatically aim the next monster, instead of "hitting the air", like in the original

Dialogues have been slightly remade and improved in quality

You can now save the game at any place and any time as a temporary file, which will be deleted once the console is turned off

There are now two difficulty levels for "Final Fantasy", the "Easy" one being considerably easier than the original one (which was not easy at all, and became "Normal" in this remake). There is also an increased difficulty level for "Final Fantasy II", but you can access it only after having completed the game

There are in-game explanations for classes in "Final Fantasy"

There are tons of extras in both games: bestiary, art gallery, item collections, etc.
