Description

Final Fantasy Origins is a re-release of Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II. Both games have added CGI cut scenes, updated graphics, and added content. It also includes art galleries of Yoshitaka Amano's illustrations. Final Fantasy II was never released in the USA.

Final Fantasy is an RPG/adventure came where you choose four characters (from six different character classes). It features turn based combat, kill monsters for gold / experience to advance levels and equipment.

Final Fantasy II is also similar but has several different aspects. There is no experience system is not based off of killing monsters. The more you use a weapon/armor the more proficient you get at it. It also features a keyword system. During a conversion some words can be memorized then you can ask NPCs keywords to further the plot, get more information, etc.

Trivia

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