Kicking It Old School: Final Fantasy (The First One)
No roman numerals, no sequel nonsense, no offshoot title, no nothing. Just Final Fantasy. The first one. The one that hit twenty years ago. Yeah, both we and the franchise together are getting old. If you’ve got a PSP and a bit of the nostalgia fever, you might want to look into picking this one up.
Be warned though, it isn’t as much of a revolutionary remake as the DS do-over of FFIII. It’s still pretty much the same top down graphical presentation, still the same story, the same charecters and all of that. The sprites and backgrounds used are certainly updated from the old school NES graphics, but that’s pretty much it. But it’s a title that’s pretty much some fan service, likely to hold the FF freaks out until the ‘08 release of the first PS3 FF game.
PSP fanboy has a great review, along with some showy screenshots that you can see here. And yeah, you gained one more wrinkle and/or grey hair within the time that you just read all this.
