Final Fantasy Origins

"...FF Origins is probably the best re-released Final Fantasy collection currently available due to the carefully reshaped visual corset and the outstanding musical support. Yet these collection shares the fate of all re-releases of former classics – they cannot be compared directly to current games of similar kind."

"The two games included in Final Fantasy Origins may be short on presentation, but they're certainly long enough on gameplay to justify the purchase price for any hard-core RPG fan."

"Some Final Fantasy fans may have to face up to a rude awakening upon encountering the series' roots -- there's an awful lot of random battling, leveling up, and trudging from distant airship landing sites to await them in these two games. Die-hards should enjoy a more gameplay-intensive experience, though, as well as the opportunity to play through Final Fantasy II for the first time."

"This one-disc set is literally overflowing with a high-quality history lesson that not only provides well over 40 hours of simplistic but addicting gameplay, but a true look back at the origins of the world's most popular RPG franchise."

"While time hasn�t been the kindest to the games featured in Final Fantasy Origins, the nostalgia may be worth it to many people. Gamers who grew up on polygons and deep storylines won�t get much enjoyment out of the package, but a rental should suit them fine so they can experience some old-school RPGs that helped popularize the genre."
