Topic: Okay, so I decided to try and play FF1 again...

Last time I tried playing FF1, I got bored hunting ogres around Elfland, and gave up.

I decided to force myself past that part this time, so here I am almost back there on a new game. I have not played FF1 past Elfland yet.

Here's some screenies:

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

That's the Anniversary version.... That's actually played on the SuperFamiCom/SNES....

I have a language patched version of FFIV Hardtype... MUCH Harder than the FFIV released over here..

Do they have a translation patch yet?

There's an FF1 MUD out there somewhere. It's pretty accurate - except it lets you pick race as well, so you can be a, say Moogle Black-Belt =) It only lets you be one person at a time, though, so you have to group with 3 other people for the whole feel.

I don't remember the exact address, but I think it was future.mudsrus.net:2000 or something along those linesupo.




moogle is the 3241727861th binary digit of pi

I think some guy is finished with everything, except half of the dialogue.

I'm using the walkthrough at http://www.classicgaming.com/ff1/ as my translation. Sure, it doesn't have the extra storyline and stuff that was added in the WSC version, but it'll get me through the game.

This is probably a preview of what to expect when Square releases the orignal three Final Fantasies on the GameBoy Advance.

Is there actually an EMU and ROM available or are you just gonna taunt me?

I see FFIe and FFIj, but thoes look like NES images to go with the Nesticle they're offering for EMU....

They're offering a Nesticle to play games on? How... perverted...

You are using the wrong EMU then. there is a japanese emu that the sound works on.

I used Print Screen for the screenshots. no saved state REALLY sucks, too.

My computer froze a little while ago, and i lost levels 5-7 worth of work. In FF1, you should KNOW how much that is.

This version is easier.

You seem to start out with a bit more gold (although I think I'm imagining things on that), more HP and more L1 spells...

It's both easier and harder, in different respects. You start out with the same amount of money, and no L1 spells. there are still 4 black and 4 white magic spells per level, and you have to choose 3.

Bugs like wasting a turn if one of your party members kills a monster and another one was set to attack it next, have been fixed.

From what I've seen, monsters are harder to kill, give less EXP, but give more G.

Also, your inventory consists of an extra slot to put shields in, so you can wear gloves and shields at the same time.

BYW, I keep a notepad next to me to write down which spells, and in which order they are, that I have for my mages, so I know which is which when using them, and I also write down the translation from the katakana to english of the items as I get them so I can tell them apart in the item menus. Might be wise to do that.

Something they did take away from the WSC version that I miss...

You used to be able to select "use" on any piece of armor or weapon in your inventory, even ones without effects.

You can't do this anymore. I used to abuse that to strech out the last mob on some fights to regen HP via Heal Helm/Staff or to test out spells for resistability (have the fighter and thief waste their turn while the WM and BM chuck spells)....

I have been nerfed!

You can probably still use items WITH effects, just not ones without. Also, in the options menu, you can turn OFF all the enhancements(except graphics and sound), but good luck readin it enough to do so
