'''''Final Fantasy Origins''''' is a game for the [[PlayStation]] from [[Square Co., Ltd.]]. It consists of enhanced remakes of the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] games, ''[[Final Fantasy I|Final Fantasy]]'' and ''[[Final Fantasy II]]'' on the PlayStation platform. The graphics have been enhanced to the quality of the SNES games (''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'', ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'' and ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]''). | |||

''Final Fantasy Origins'' was the first time | The PlayStation version of the games were initially released in Japan in [[2002]] by Square. Each game was either sold separately, or combined in the form of the '''''Final Fantasy I & II Premium Package''''', a special edition collection which included both games as well as three collector's figurines. This collection, sans special packaging and figurines, was next released in Europe as ''Final Fantasy Origins'' in [[2003]]. The game was translated by Square (by now [[Square Enix]]), but was published by Atari. The two games were next combined onto one disc and released in North America, again under the ''Final Fantasy Origins'' name, later that year. It was the first time ''Final Fantasy II'' had been officially released in North America, and the first time either game had been officially released in Europe. | ||

As for the tomb at Elfheim (or Elf Land on the NES version), the tomb reads "Here lies Erdrick" on the American NES version of ''Final Fantasy I'', a reference to the ''[[dragonquest:Dragon Quest|Dragon Warrior]]'' game. It reads "May Link rest in peace," on the American ''Final Fantasy Origins'' and the original Japanese NES version of ''Final Fantasy I'', a reference to the main character of ''The Legend of Zelda'' series. It reads "May Erdrick rest in peace," on the PAL ''Final Fantasy Origins'' version. (Interestingly, the text referencing Link was only slightly changed in ''Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn Of Souls'', even though that version was made for a [[Nintendo]] system. In DoS, it reads "Here lies Link.") | As for the tomb at Elfheim (or Elf Land on the NES version), the tomb reads "Here lies Erdrick" on the American NES version of ''Final Fantasy I'', a reference to the ''[[dragonquest:Dragon Quest|Dragon Warrior]]'' game.

''Final Fantasy'' and ''Final Fantasy II'' were first packaged together in [[1994]], when both games were combined onto a single Famicom cartridge and released as ''[[Final Fantasy I-II]]''.

The PlayStation versions of the game were most similar to the WonderSwan Color remakes that were produced separately in [[2000]] and [[2001]], respectively. Other than minor changes to take advantage of Sony's superior hardware, such as a higher screen resolution which meant that the graphics in the PlayStation version were slightly more detailed, and the remixed soundtracks, the PlayStation versions were basically identical to the earlier WonderSwan versions. | The PlayStation versions of the game were most similar to the WonderSwan Color remakes that were produced separately in [[2000]] and [[2001]], respectively.

The port featured similar graphics / sound to the PlayStation version (though slightly inferior due to the Game Boy Advance's capabilities). The Game Boy Advance version of Final Fantasy I contains four extra dungeons featuring bosses from later Final Fantasy titles, plus a few gameplay tweaks (including an MP system and easier difficulty setting). This version of Final Fantasy II included an extra side-story after finishing the game but the overall gameplay was not altered from the PlayStation version. | ||
