I had the same team of warriors when I played the game :) I remember wanting to win the first time I faced the boss, so I boosted my characters until they all reached Level 50.
@DeathZ199x First-off, you need to speak the language of the Lefeinish in order to be able to speak to them. In order to do THAT, you must get the stone slab. The stone slab is located on the top floor of the sea shrine. Once you have the slab, bring it to Dr. Unne in Melmond and he will teach you the language of the Lefeinish. Then, once you speak their language, go back to them and speak to them all, one of them will give you a "chime"...THAT is what you need to enter the Mirage Tower.
The old games had to rely more on story to keep you interested in it, than on fancy graphics that seem to plague the newer fantasy RPGs. I may have outgrown this style, but the story is forever in my heart!
I got this game for Christmas when it first came out. It was my first RPG. I didn't really know what I was doing. After a while, I got the hang of it. It took me a few months, but I eventually beat the game. That was a pretty big deal considering I was only 9 years old at the time.
I have this game on my iPod Touch. Considering that I am a FPS Guy (Call of Duty, Halo, etc.), never in a thousand years had I imagined that I would enjoy an RPG. Once I got this game, however, I was amazed. Incredible game.
Oh man, I remember absolutely smashing Chaos. My first party in original FF was Fighter, Fighter, FIghter, Red Mage. Stupid expensive in terms of gold, but also able to kill Garland at level 1 with no difficulty. I remember getting to Masamune with almost 70 potions left, then Warping out to save with Masamune. Then never being able to get back to that point with enough potions left to make it to the end. Second time was Fighter, Black Belt, Thief, White Mage, and oh man. Two, maybe three turns of combat, without using buffs, and Chaos was down.
Kid in 1987: man this battle theme is repetitive. Alright I’m ready for the final boss let’s see what nobuo uematsue has for us this time. (Enters battle and hears the same basic battle theme) Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu********************!!!!!
This was the game that set the standard for all.. from RPGs to MMORPGs... where would we be now without Chaos, Garland, Tiamat, and all the others that we knew as young boys and girls and took them into our hearts and imaginations. God I miss this game, and I would give anything to play it again.....
i dont know why peopole discuss that the 7 is better than others finals fantasies...in fact, every final fantasy is awesome and its not because the gameplay, its beacuse the story behind the game...and believe me, final fantasy 8 made me cry more that the death of aertih
@SSFF6B The only hard thing about the NES version is the fact that you have to spare your spell charges, wich was fine but was somehow a bad thing too, because it made magic so much underpowered in this game. They made it better in FF3j (which actually IS a hard game)
SquareSoft was on his last leg when they made the first FF, this game was their last shot before the studio was going to get closed forever dont expect it to have lots of animations or more music they didnt had the resources
easy win though, chaos did crap...would have been better if he did zap on your white wizard at the beginning so it's be harder, or used cure4 on itself
YES. I remember this game being so ridiculously hard lol I also remember now why I don't play FF anymore....MANY sleepless nights that went to these games lol
I appreciate the lo-fi recording. Remind me of playing this on the NES back in the day on a good old CRT television. That said, I absolutely hate this game!
@@80sForever29 The battles aren't slow. It's just that a lot of people don't know that you can increase the text speed by changing the "response rate" in the title screen so they just played on the lowest possible
You`re right Martyelm! I was lucky for this fight! Do you know that you can win against Chaos in one shot, just with a Level 99`s Black belt with no weapon?
The real challenge was warmech for me and my big brother back in the day I remember we took a picture of him and sent it into Nintendo power for a contest lol
I remember reading the chart with all the monsters, finding out that Chaos wasn't immune to the RUB spell, trying it in the first round only to see the mention "erased..." appear on screen. Chaos had left the building (or the time loop, whatever). Classic times! ; ) They don't make'em like this anymore...
Nowadays maybe underwhelming, but back in the day this encounter would be majestic. A thrill of a long and hard adventure leading up to this moment. I can only imagine the shine of the eyes of the kids playing this game for their first time.
That's right dude... Cocktrice and Perilisk (birds) are also a pain. Cocktrice cast "Stone" and Perilisk can kill you in one shoot, like the "Death" spell... And don't forget Warmechs, the hardest "normal" ennemies in the game, but gives you a lot of gold and experience. You can find them only in the desert tower, guarded by Tiamat, elemental of air.
This was my third RPG ever. I ended up accidentally playing through 2/3 of the game with my characters completely naked, since the other RPGs I'd tried up to then didn't require you to manually equip weapons and armor after buying them. I didn't notice the difference for most of the game because I'm OCD about level grinding.
I beat Chaos in 3 rounds today. I didn't realize you could beat him with level 25-30 characters so all my characters were around level 35. My ninja didn't even get the chance to attack.
I've just got to this part of the game and was finding it really difficult. And I've only just now realised that other players besides mages can use magic......
But I wasn't, in fact, I started my comment saying "everyone has their own favorite" CLEARLY distinguishing myself from the one who started this. The one who started the argument was devilrobrob, ie, a completely different person. And I didn't send a comment to him because it was too "fandumb" to even warrant a response. I was just pointing out that you're not making yourself look much better, while arguing that people can have reasons for not liking a game other than stupidity.
@Darskul You're wrong here People in Final Fantasy are all from differant worlds And in Dissidia they're all taken from differant times too, the fact that Laguna is still young while Squall is a teen proves that Sephiroth was summoned from before he was died No one was summoned from the FF1 world due to the Great Will coming from that world and thus not having any interest in summoning from there And WoL ALWAYS had that costume in the concept art for FF1
@SuperNESFreak Yes, it went along great with such deadly and cleverly-named attacks such as XXXX (I'm serious about that one btw) and some other funny ones that resulted from length constraints. Although I do think that sometimes they got the point across better than the newer names. NUKE became flare, and I think XXXX became kill. Now: Face the wrath of THUNDAGA! Then: Face the wrath of LIT3!
man without this game squaresoft (square enix) wouldnt even be around anymore. final fantasy 1 literally saved squaresoft. it was the final game (hence the name) they were going to make before they went outta business cuz all their other games were basically shitty and couldnt sell. but it sold so many copies that they were able to continue. thank god. what an amazing game and company.
@Rhonder517 ... cont'd (why do posts have to be so short? >.>): This game is awesome, and has just enough challenge and such to make it worth playing. I also like the fact that most of the grinding (so far for me) has been for making money instead of xp, which is awesome cuz it hits two birds with one stone. Keeps your lev els in check quite nicely. Oh yeah, and my team of Warrior/Theif/BlackMage/WhiteMage ftw~!
@Rhonder517 sorry for the type spam x.x was trying to see why it wouldn't let me post... my message was supposed to be: Well, as opposed to being my first RPG (I think either Pokemon Blue or... yeah, that one takes that spot), it is my first FF :3 I just downloaded it off of the VC yesterday... though I don't really know why I haven't played one yet by age 16... oh well XD so far I'm only at the 3rd town (elfland I believe?) and so far am loving it!

fuck, kids of this generation dont even know what the meaning of difficult games is. I remember when the original final fantasy first came out. I had the nintendo power issue with the full guide in it. I thought people were crazy for playing games that were that long, and the rest is history. final fantasy, dragon warrior, those were the originals, I cant believe how far they have come and 20 years later the ff series is bigger than ever
i bought the internet channel when you still had to pay for it, so last night at 11 ish, i saw that i had a message, and it was tellin me that they finaly were gonna give me the opportunity to get a free NES game... i thought i bought all the NES games i wanted already, but then i saw Final Fantasy just came out, and it was bitchin... and i beat Garland really easily at level 2, but i couldnt beat whatever the hell the boss behind it is XD
I keep asking myself the same thing. Probably the video game industry has become too commercial, and several great creators have retired. For an RPG I think the best idea is to invent stories in your head *for fun*, and then possibly use them as the story in an RPG. That's much better than inventing something lame and then focusing on th3 epic graphics. The best "modern" games I've played lately are Ico and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Those are some true high class-games.
Actually the 2 and 3 released in America on SNES were actually the original FF4 and FF6. The original 2 and 3 didn't come to America until later. 2 first came in the PS1 compliation FF Origins, which came with remakes of FF1 and the original FF2. FF3 first came to America on the DS remake released a few years back. And FF5 first made it on another PS1 compliation called FF Chronicles which came with FF5 and FF6 which was called FF3 when it was first released in america.
good luck naming a worthwhile amount of new games that match the TIMELESS fun, challenge, characters, and soundtracks found in older nintendo, sega, and arcade games. check BigBangBlitz's channel, go to racketboydotcom, do a search for speedrun vids of Alien Soldier, Gunstar Heroes, Guardian Legend, Contra (1,2,3,Hard Corps), Castlevania (Bloodlines, IV, and X), Golden Axe 2 & 3, Streets of Rage 2 & 3, Violent Storm, Axelay, and any R-Type or Raiden game, and then go play them on emulator.
Fighters/Knights are tougher, can actually use some magic, have better magic defense, and on average have stronger normal attacks than BlackBelts/Masters, but Fighters/Knights are slower and obviously don't get as many as critical hits or multiple hits as BlackBelts/Masters therefore their attacks will be dodged easier, they will be hit more by enemies, and the potential maximum damage that a Master does will be higher than a Knight. so no, they don't out-damage them as easily as you think.

B*llsht
I only know one thing: Chaos
I had the same team of warriors when I played the game :) I remember wanting to win the first time I faced the boss, so I boosted my characters until they all reached Level 50.
Why can't newer games be as great as this? ;(
So this is the game that started the huge series...

aah yes!..the original final fantasy, the REAL final fantasy
the best finbal fantasy game ever made
The darkness is so thick I can almost taste it.

Chaos.
He is here to fight chaos !
The game that saved a company, launched a franchise, and created a large fan-base AT THE SAME TIME
It dont get no better than that
hahahahha the best of this was it was recorded by a VHS!!! amazing!!! ( *-*)
He has play on NES
Chaos likes pineapple on pizza.
No he likes anchovies
He likes liver and onions topped with blue cheese dressing
If you beat FF1 NES then you’re a true FF veteran!
If you beat FF1 NES on actual hardware and record it on a VCR then you’re a FF master!
KILL CHAOS
I only know one thing: I want to kill Chaos
#fuckChaos
it's not a hope or a dream it's like a hunger, a thirst
Chaos.
literally wtf are you talking about
We must kill Chaos.
Epic final boss music, lol
ahahahahahahahah
isnt this the regular fight music?
Quake SRK That's the joke... Lol.
Hey look, is Jack Garland.
The old games had to rely more on story to keep you interested in it, than on fancy graphics that seem to plague the newer fantasy RPGs. I may have outgrown this style, but the story is forever in my heart!
Stranger of Paradise just made this comment section pure CHAOS
¡¡¡CHAOS!!!

Pretty strange the same battle theme is used for every battle, final boss included.

Wtf how?
This game hard af
@@applememesboom5057 If you had the instruction manual, it helped BIG TIME. It was practically a guide.
@@saininj I played gba version

Who keeps casting AUTO PICTURE?
that music is simply the main theme of every final fantasy game...
wow...even years from its first release, it still looks good.
Man the final boss theme really epic
C H A O S
CHAOS...
makes you think of how much gaming has advanced in the last 10-20 years
And it didn't change much in 12 years.
Still has better story telling than most after

VHS recording... And i use "Pinnacle" program to transfer from VHS to my pc.
Man you were ahead of your time.
VHS was a thing back in the 80's and 90's.
They didnt even give him a final boss theme , what a joke😂😂😂
dude, i mean he's limited to 4 characters in the name. give him a break.
14 years ago NintendoCult was there to kill Chaos.
Who is watching in 2022?
that flickering gives it a classic touch. Really awesome game. Beaten it today, FINALLY.
1:43 I can't get no-o..
Satisfac-tion...
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who was singing this.
Adam Syed But I try-try-try-try try-try, try-try, etc.

Sweet memories with this game!Unlike modern games this is hard with puzzles and what not!It was actually a challenge!
Do you hold this opinion 13 years later? Especially since a lot of modern games do try to bring challenge, like cup head and elden ring
00:26 everythinghappensforareason.mpeg
YES. I remember this game being so ridiculously hard lol I also remember now why I don't play FF anymore....MANY sleepless nights that went to these games lol
Easiest setup??? Oiioxxxoiio, this one is the old nintendo's (NES) version. There are no difficulty levels in that version.
I appreciate the lo-fi recording. Remind me of playing this on the NES back in the day on a good old CRT television. That said, I absolutely hate this game!
It looks like this because it was recorded by a vhs player
@@TheRealBroMike Probably because of the slow paced battles and difficulty

I still remember the first time I beat Chaos. I felt a real sense of accomplishment.
Brings me back to my childhood :)
One of the best games I have ever played!
Epic music!

inm only 15 and ive played all the Final Fantasy games and i have to say this is the best one yet
a wonderful fantasy series, that will definitely not be final anytime soon
I remember reading the chart with all the monsters, finding out that Chaos wasn't immune to the RUB spell, trying it in the first round only to see the mention "erased..." appear on screen. Chaos had left the building (or the time loop, whatever).

i love no matter how epic the battle is the music stays the same
Statics final bosses sprites are always badass.
The best party I found is a Fighter, Bl Belt, Red and White Mage. That's an interesting group to fight with. Thanks for the upload.

wow i still have some old stratedgy guide of this game from nintendo power in perfect shape . any1 know how much its worth?
sounds like the old pokemon games lol
Caleb Studer This is older than pokemon saga
Always a classic! This game is so popular, it was later made in FAR too damn many game sequals!
Thanks for this game Square, the begining of all the others final fantasy
1:18 shit gets fucking real!
Probably one of my favorite games of all time. One of the first ones I've ever played too. The Light Warriors rule!
This video just has retro nostalgic energy oozing out of it huh?
you are the last commenter not wanting to kill chaos
@@ragerodracir I literally didn't know about the new game yet lmao
I beat Chaos in 3 rounds today. I didn't realize you could beat him with level 25-30 characters so all my characters were around level 35. My ninja didn't even get the chance to attack.
Damn, this videos was released the day I was born
I miss the days when spells were all four-letter words in caps. Nothing beats spells like FAST and SLP2.
It was only a thing because you can write a novel with just 4 character limit on spell in japanese. English was abbreviated.
The boss looks pathethic without his theme and with the normal battle theme TBH.
@joseleandro75 It sucks compared to anything after 10... 1-8 were brilliant 9-10 pushed limits..
I've just got to this part of the game and was finding it really difficult. And I've only just now realised that other players besides mages can use magic......
I remember beating this game on NES.. i was only 8 or 9.. of course my mother had helped. Awesome game, awesome memories. Thanks for the upload ^.^
Is it bad that I like FF1 NES version WAYYYY more than FF13?

People in Final Fantasy are all from differant worlds
And in Dissidia they're all taken from differant times too, the fact that Laguna is still young while Squall is a teen proves that
Sephiroth was summoned from before he was died
No one was summoned from the FF1 world due to the Great Will coming from that world and thus not having any interest in summoning from there
And WoL ALWAYS had that costume in the concept art for FF1
@SuperNESFreak
Yes, it went along great with such deadly and cleverly-named attacks such as XXXX (I'm serious about that one btw) and some other funny ones that resulted from length constraints. Although I do think that sometimes they got the point across better than the newer names. NUKE became flare, and I think XXXX became kill.
