Description

The two titles that began the Final Fantasy Adventure return in an updated and improved portable form. Both titles feature updated visuals from their original NES origins and an improved translation of the story, filling in certain plot holes previously untold in other re-releases.

As with other Final Fantasy titles, players take on the role of a hero out to save the kingdom. Using a vast collection of spells and potions, and with a team of players to aid in the quest, players will travel across the kingdom fighting a range of evil characters and gaining experience to increase strength and magic abilities.

Adding to the compilation package are additional dungeons, including the Soul of Chaos, familiar enemies and heroes from other Final Fantasy titles and the Soul of Rebirth story arc, that adds a further 20% of game time.

Alternate Titles

  • "ファイナルファンタジーI・IIアドバンス" -- Japanese Spelling
  • "Final Fantasy I & II Advance" -- Japanese title

Trivia

In the original version of Final Fantasy I on the NES, the tomb in Elfein read "Here lies Erdrick" - a reference to a prominent character in the Dragon Warrior series. In the Playstation re-release in Final Fantasy Origins, the tomb read "May Link Rest In Peace" - a reference to the protagonist in Nintendo's Legend of Zelda series.

Strangely enough, this text was not altered when the game was released for the Gameboy Advance - a Nintendo-made system!!
