Final Fantasy Origins

Background

Witness the birth of a phenomenon…

Return to the true origins of one of the most popular game series ever created! FINAL FANTASY® and FINAL FANTASY®II were the foundation of console RPGs as we know them today and are finally available together in Europe for the very first time on PlayStation®.

In FINAL FANTASY®, four warriors of light, each possessing a special crystal, are summoned to bring harmony back to a world threatened by an evil entity intent on conquering it. Together, the warriors battle hideous creatures and travel across the world in order to restore order and peace.

In FINAL FANTASY®II, the emperor of Palamecia launches a campaign for world domination. In response, a rebel force rises in the kingdom of Fynn; in the ensuing clash, the rebels are forced to retreat to the remote town of Altair. Amongst them, four childhood friends find themselves orphaned, homeless and running for their lives. They are the only hope for the rebels and their struggle against the evil Palamecian empire.

Both FINAL FANTASY® and FINAL FANTASY®II contain all-new features, including state-of-the-art CG sequences, a memo file save system, enhanced graphics and come packaged in a 2 disc set complete with Yoshitaka Amano art cards that are exclusive to PAL territories.
