Final Fantasy was the title that started it all for Square Soft, and now the original game and its first sequel are both getting a make-over for their PlayStation debut. The graphics in both games have been given a total overhaul with upgraded visuals on par with their SNES offspring. Square has even included entirely new CG movies in both tales to help push their stories along. It is unknown if Square will resample Nobuo Uematsu’s original scores to take advantage of the PlayStation’s architecture, but some acoustic upgrade is expected. Unfortunately, both games will be released separately, unlike the previous anthologies.


The original “Final Fantasy” had a plot about as simple as could be: the elements of Water, Earth, Wind and Fire are out of balance and the world is on the brink of total chaos. Four brave adventurers, the Light Warriors, must venture forth to unravel the mystery behind the current strife and restore order to the world. There isn’t much in the way of story, but at the time the game was originally released this was one of the largest, deepest and most difficult adventures around. Players can choose their four heroes from several now-classic classes including red, white and black mages, fighters, black belts and thieves. At a certain point in the game, their abilities are permanently increased by the dragon lord Bahamut, changing mages to wizards, fighters to knights, black belts to grand masters and thieves to ninja. Final Fantasy uses a turn-based combat system with spells being bought rather than learned, just like weapons and armor.


While Final Fantasy may not be as advanced or enticing as the previous PlayStation re-releases of it's successors, this title will provide many gamers the chance to see where it all began. This title is slated to be released in Japan at the end of October. Sadly, this game has not been announced for a domestic release.
