Takes you back to the days of NES
Late bloomer here, but I recently discovered this remastered version for the PS1, which have to say it far surpasses the original NES release in every way possible.
First impressions: The graphics alone are a vast improvement over the 8-bit cartridge, very much to that of SuperNES style and quality visuals. The dungeons, towns and backgrounds during fights are so nicely rendered that it gives players an added sense of immersion while exploring the world. The music is, well...not sure how to put in words but the themes were redefined quite beautifully. The feeling I got when entering the temple of Chaos...just something about the piano, violin and the synthesized orchestra, it established a mood to that of ungodly euphoria. There are many improvements also in the mechanics of the game also. For instance, when buying multiples of an item from a shop, they offer a quantity option which makes the process less of a strain. Buying spells are no longer a headache since there is a description of what each spell does instead of having to guess in the NES version. I like that they give you 6 characters to name your party members, opposed to just 4, which lets you get a little more creative. Only real issues I had while playing was identifying the updated enemy sprites and correspond them to their originals. Some enemies go by a completely different name in the updated version, like for instance CREEP in the original game is now called Gigas Worm, KYZOKU are called Privateers, GrOgre is now Ogre Chieftain, etc. Another issue in regards to enemy encounters is they seem to happen A LITTLE TOO FREQUENTLY, which can become a nuisance when you're just trying to get somewhere instead of grinding. Also unsure if the numerous bugs in the original game were fixed in the updated version. I heard several reports from gamers that certain spells didn't work or some of the battle mechanics were broken or glitched. Apart from the minor programming errors the game may have it is sure to be considered a real gem among fans of the original NES version. To those who love final fantasy this is definitely worth playing.Read full review

The game came in, it came in as advertised. It was the late re-release version meaning it was the non-black bottom but regardless as long as it works, then I had no issue. It seemed like it was opened and then re-sealed and there is no longer a crack like in the photo, no to mention the CD was no prestine. BUT, it works flawlessly and thankfully I had plans to open and play it, anyone who planed on a sealed copy for collecting would be disappointed. Read full review

Great retro game
This is a great retro game because it takes you back to where it all began. Good story, reasonable graphics for the time period. Addictive to play. Also has extra cut scenes and music added in.
A great buy.Read full review

Exactly what I wanted
Game is perfect just as it was shown. Looks just like it was on a store shelf when I had a copy many years ago. Was sad I sold my originals back in the day, so happy with my purchase. Thanks again!
