This is the game that started it all! I never had a chance to play the original Final Fantasy until now and it is one great game! Technically the PSP version is just a straight up port of the Dawn of Souls Edition for the Game Boy Advance but comes with a brand new dungeon called the Labyrinth of Time. Being a remake of the original NES game not much has changed. You still travel across an overworld and dungeons battling various monsters and bosses. Being the original game in the series there are a TON of random encounters. It can get pretty tedious at times but you may get used to it as time goes on. There is also a bar minimum of story here. All we know is that you play as the Four Warriors of Light as they try to save the world from evil. Nothing new or special at all but considering the game it has it's own unique charm. Graphics wise they are the same as the GBA version but were slightly bumped up for the PSP. The graphics are bright and colorful and fit the game well. Being the first Final Fantasy there is also the issue of having trouble of knowing where to go at times. You do have access to an overworld map but even that can barely be any help as there is no way of knowing where new areas are, how to reach them or what to do there in general. Some gamers may need a strategy guide or online walkthroughs for help. Despite these drawbacks there is a ton of stuff to do in the game. Beside the long main quest there are several bonus dungeons to explore, many bonus bosses to fight, and tons of gear, weapons and items to collect. While not as epic as say Final Fantasy 7 the original Final Fantasy is still a great game and the PSP version is a great way to see how one of the greatest gaming franchises ever began!
My score for Final Fantasy(PSP): 8/10
Not as epic or detailed as other Final Fantasy games but it is still an important classic! Well I hope you enjoyed our first video game review! More like this is on the way! :)
