This is the first RPG I ever played back in 1990. It was one of those games that changed my perception of how I love about games for the rest of my life.
Unlike Dragon Quest, I can't actualy see my characters fight instead of the first person perspective. Anyways I managed to off screen level and obtain 100% treasures. Note: when I defeat a Fiends of Elements, the altar is supposed to release a light indicating that I restore the Orbs/Crystals. You can see it this is due to the emulator glitch.
Well anyways enjoy this epic rpg that saved SquareEnix company from being bankrupt. -

I can't help but notice that this game has NPCs blocking doorways 24 years before Skyrim.
ME GUSTA
And Zelda!
NPCs do that all the time in almost all RPGs.
You must be new to RPGs lol
Yeah but in this game you can push them
This was my first Video Game. When my parents got the NES, it came with the Mario/Duck Hunt combo cartridge. My sisters played that, while I played this. I've always had a strong love for medieval fantasy and this suited me so very well. I still love this game today.
I remember the days when I could play these games straight through with very little sleep...Just nod of for a tic & then resume playing...I had no life in 1992.
BrownBatsToyBox ok
I wasn't even alive 1992 lmao
Hell I played this game so much half the time I'd be drunk.....I eventually warped the cartridge :(
I remember playing so much that i had dreams about the games or more like obsessive tactical thinking, It didnt feel like rest. more like torture
@@rheanonjasmyne You must have been very drunk since this game wasn't even released as a cartridge in europe or america.. Only famicom on japanese. lol
EDIT: im very sorry i tought i was commenting on another video i was watching.. final fantasy 3. lol
I still have this game with the maps and strategy guide!! It is definitely one of my favorites from the NES days!!
Ah, the good ole days of when you had to wait for NPCs to move out of the way. Wishing you could just push them. Brings back memories.
+Bancheis play super fucking mario 1 or 2 the villages are filled with toads and they block your way and dont talk
What villages? The original SMB1 and 2 are pure side scrollers, nothing more nothing less.
I always thought that old-school games with NPCs should simply be designed so that you _couldn't_ be blocked, like for example make every corridor at least 2 tiles wide and make sure that the movements of the NPCs are restricted so that they cannot end up in the same corridors in the same numbers as the tile width of that corridor.
I am not a game programmer by any means, but I highly doubt that those things would be particularly hard to accomplish.
I had to follow an NPC for 20 tiles because he would not move yesterday. Love it though.
You mean the bat actually moves out of your way in the Earth Cave?
I darn near wanted to cry as I recalled the music themes that were lodged in my brain somewhere in the 1990's. Nostalgia is a weird and powerful thing.
Final Fantasy victory music never stops being epic.
I'm just a few minutes in and already impressed by how far they pushed the NES' limits. Making dynamic interiors inside other interiors and all of that. Whoah. I'm pretty sure the dude behind this was a coding god back then.
I also like how they got around the sprite limit by making the forward and backwards movement a single sprite that keeps mirroring so his feet look like they're moving. A masterpiece, if I was older I'd have probably enjoyed this for more than a few years.
Yup. This is a prime example of a game made with passion and skill. The team behind the game was going down and some of them didn't even believe in the project so those who were left did their very best, thinking it would be the last game they will ever make, hence the name.
Not only the game turned out amazing, it became a milestone of the video game and redefined the RPG genre as a whole and shaped the J-RPG subgenre to this day. It also saved the team from bankruptcy and was so popular that they went from broke studio to one of the giants of the video game industry.
A beautiful story, if I dare say...
@@silvergrove8517 this game was also heavily inspired by dungeons&dragons
@@silvergrove8517 Unfortunately its not even a true story.
"Though often attributed to the company allegedly facing bankruptcy, Sakaguchi explained that the game was his personal last-ditch effort in the game industry and that its title, Final Fantasy, stemmed from his feelings at the time; had the game not sold well, he would have quit the business and gone back to university. Despite his explanation, publications have also attributed the name to the company's hopes that the project would solve its financial troubles. In 2015, Sakaguchi explained the name's origin: the team wanted a title that would abbreviate to "FF", which would sound good in Japanese. The name was originally going to be Fighting Fantasy, but due to concerns over trademark conflicts with the roleplaying gamebook series of the same name, they needed to settle for something else. As the word "Final" was a famous word in Japan, Sakaguchi settled on that. According to Sakaguchi, any title that created the "FF" abbreviation would have done.
Straight from his own mouth.
As soon as the opening music started on here it was like an instant timewarp 25 years ago back to my childhood lol ... had a lot of fun playing these first few Final Fantasy games on the NES/SNES
yes the first few are great indeed, but now the whole franchise has become an unrecognizable abomination.
@@rellik187redrum : Final Fantasy X was the last gem, it's been getting so bad that they might stop making them, from what I've heard.
If I had a nickel for every time I've beaten this game over the last 28 or so years, I would have a handful of nickels. Still remember being at my cousins house when he bought it brand new just shortly after it was released... changed everything I thought about video games. This, Zelda, Dragon Warrior ect. were so ahead of their time. Open world gaming before the technology existed to make a true open world game. It sounds ridiculous, but this was the equivalent of playing GTA 5 for the first time for a kid today, for us back in 87-88.
are you seriously fighting over the internet?
Justin Yatsko
THANK YOU
umm GTA5 is basically porn ? How the fuck is that game for kids?
This wasn't the ground breaking game, Ultima was. Ultima came out in 1981 and invented the open world concept. Ultima 4 was out on the NES the same year Final Fantasy 1 came out. Final Fantasy, Zelda and Dragon Warrior were awesome, but not the first of their kind. They were, as all NES games, inspired by their arcade and PC predecessors.
im gay
Ahhhh and it begins. The first FF and the first RPG i ever played. I remember sitting on the carpet with my juicebox and Nintendo Power mag ^_^
Remember back when Nintendo Power put their issue for this game? I still have the world map and strategy guide. They've seen better days, but I have em!
I am wanting to buy the original maps for 1-3 if possible. Would frame them and hang them up in my room.
I was hooked on Dragon Warrior until I finished that game. Now I'm on this one.
One of my favorite games. Thanks for playing this gem for us. :D
18:31 Welcome to Final Fantasy
Wonderful
PROGRAMMED BY NASIR
I like that four square section by the elf town where you face enemies from the top of the map and can level up quick.
The wind stopped then how the hell are they sailing a ship
The sea went wild, so maybe they're... riding the waves?
That would also ask the question why they can sail an airship. At least, I've heard there's an airship in the game, I just haven't found it...either way, the setting seems kinda like our own; gross polluted ground, not too much wind, the sea is flooding in the south...and then there's a prophecy. My hypothesis is that the prophecy is this game. And then four commoners will save the world. I believe Final Fantasy is set in the near future. But now, we just need four Warriors of Light...
@dropout0110 youll beat it quicker with a higher respond rate, it effects message speed
Tom Ainger oof
@Jarek Noschese jets :)
I had so much fun playing this game from start to end... i looked forward it everyday after i did my homework haha
Good old days, truly good days.
I picked up a copy of this game from a retro store this week in box with all the full color maps, monster stat sheets, weapons and armor guide, manual and even the hunk of packing foam for $90. Well worth it too, playing the game while cross checking your map and and the monster sheet... it feels like your playing an on screen table top game. Good clean fun. :)
nunavyour biznas You are a geeeeeeeek to da max!
I'm jealous asf
nunavyour biznas I have a small collection of NES games and rarely buy games. Would you recommend this game for my collection? Or do you think there is a better RPG for the NES?
@@playmooregames371 This is my favorite NES RPG hands down. Dragon Warrior 1, 2, 3, and 4, as well as Crystalis, were my favorite RPGs as a kid
back when square didn't make numbered sequels to numbered sequels
Cactusman129 Final fantasy "sequels" aren't really sequels. They are just the next installment. Except X-2, etc.
But I see what you mean.
I think is time to clean your historial.
+Jesus Mercedes well...they didnt.
Roku I don't why I comment that, but what is done can not be undone.
+Cactusman129 Back in those days, this WAS supposed to be their final game, hence the name, because they were going down. They were not expecting this game to become popular so this game save them. So therefore, I am guessing they were not planning to make any kind of sequels until they finally made the right game.
The music still holds up 36 years later am just playing through the pixel remasters never had these as a kid ff7 was the first time I was introduced to final fantasy was hooked on FF and RPGs after that
Even just watching that amount of random battles enrage me
Everyone : *being nostalgic*
Me new to final Fantasy :
W h e r e i s c l o u d ?
I never played a FF game before but damn I am hooked now . This is really a timeless game
hell yeah brother
Im 35, just played the game for the first time (i owned a SEGA Mastersystem), i played for 6 days & 4 hours a day to beat this game, and DESTROYED this game with ease.
Went Fighter + Fighter + Red Mage + Black Mage.
Protips:
-You can grind gold & exp vs Orges around the 'Melmond' city area.
-Use the Wizard's Heal Staff near the end of your battle to heal your party to save gold instead of using heal potions.
-Cast 'Fast' at the START of your battles on each of your Fighter class heroes to do DOUBLE damage EACH strike!
You beat this in 24 hours?
Idk why people complain about grinding it is fun. It's where you play the meat of the game. I would rather a game be long as hell and hard to play than easy and short because most of us have beat these games before and I like to implement rules to make it more tough. If the games are easy to begin with you can't even do that.
I wish I could enjoy this again like I did 30 years ago, my life is sad now.
@@wolker213
If you can’t enjoy the SNES FF games then you’re shallow
….you aren’t a real RPG fan, the NES ones I can get but,
4-6 are amazing games of their own rights so STFU…
so sorry
Same……my grandpa and I played this and beat it and I remember having so much fun with him playing this game…. He passed away in 05
Your not the only one. Need to lock yourself in a room with milk and cookies put blankets up like a tent and get a small tv to play it on and don’t forget to turn your phone off!
Ah, that victory music......such a classic! I love growing up with these awesome games!
I'm playing this but the FF Origins version on PS. Man, graphics sure were updated. Also, even though I have already played most of the main installments, I quickly got into this game. I don't think I could ever imagine how this game hit the 80s, but I am glad it did and I am finally playing after 15 years when I played my first FF game (ff8).
And man, I sure needed to buy equipment at the beginning because I lost in the first fight. I am used not to buy anything because I usually don't need it in the most recent FF games.
Where it all started. Love this game. Interesting party selection. I usually go with the fighter, monk, black mage and white mage. I can see where a red mage in the party would give more options.
The game is sooooo awesome, even for a nostalgia title. I have this on my IPhone and my party consists of a White Mage, Warrior, Black Belt, & Thief. I know I'm lame because I named my white Mage Gandalf, my warrior Aragorn, my black belt Legolas, and my Thief Frodo :)
I thought Bilbo was the burglar
Banus cakes.
you are by no means lame. you love the fantasy genre and it shows.
*Fun Fact From the Facts Machine*
Did you know that this game was named “Final Fantasy” by game designer Hironobu Sakaguchi because if the game was a flop he was prepared to stop designing video games and go back to college to try something else.
Facts.
Ooooooohhhhhh
Really? there’s conflicting reports on this, as this was stated by Nobou Uematsu, the games composer. In a later interview with Sakaguchi, he explained he wanted it to be called Fighting Fantasy but couldn’t due to a table top board game taking that name
@@boombox2ikik239 I researched this just as I research all that I state facts about
no
well it seems to have been somewhat successful
I wish you hadn't run from so many fights. Fights are pretty fun to watch.
Yeah, I agree. Kinda boring watching someone run away from 90% of the fights.
So nice of Valis to show us the Erdrick easter egg!
I picked the original NES game up back in 2001 and it was pretty damn tedious to level up the guys at the beginning of the game. Spent 2 or 3 hours just walking around beating up on light weights until I had decent stats for the dungeons.
It's best if you do not give the black belt character any weapons as he does tons more physical damage with just his fists.
Not till after level 6
@@minecraftboss4078 i saw a video some guy said level 10, is it really 6?
I love grinding a bunch and thinking your over level to find out that it is basically a requirement. This game is amazing aside from the bugs. Only flaw from these days was games were new on cartridge and not enough quality testing was done which surprises me coming from Nintendo.
It reminds me of shopping at costco with those npc just standing or walking into your way.
2 yrs later and this is still fun to watch. Love the classics!
My lineup is
FTR - LINK
FTR - HULK
RED - SORA
WHT - JILL
This bring back memories of just vegging and playing till fall down from lack of sleep.
Final Fantasy 15 is out with outstanding graphics. Can't believe this game changes a lot by time.
Played this on the NES when it came out, every time before my characters would level up I'd save the game, fight a monster, level up, and look at how many points I got...if I got too few points I'd push the NES reset button and repeat...over and over and over until I got a high result. Made my characters way stronger... 11yr old hacking lol. Bought this on the iPhone a few years ago and the same trick worked on the iPhone as well...had to swipe the game closed and relaunch...over and over and over... :D
That just sounds not fun at all.
@@RetroRogue. yeah.... sounds more like a torture. I played FF1 NES as well and even my experince with it wasnt that bad
I love this version of the Final Fantasy Theme. Probably my #1 favorite rendition of it.
wesleyjc80 One of these fricking days this will be a motion picture extravaganza on IMAX! (but probably not on 3D)
This Game never old
It should be known that one of the battle themes in FFIV (or FFII to we Americans) sounds similar in places to the original NES FF battle theme. That Nobuo Uematsu sure was a creative genius for putting "leitmotifs" in his FF scores.
My brain is waiting for a pokemon to pop out so I can catch it and find a gym leader in each town...
I beat this game back in the day.
The good ol' days of 8 bits...nes rocked. Fukin memories ;)
Reminds me on the old Pokémon games
My party
Warrior
Thief
Red Mage
Blackbelt.
Cannot express how much fun I am having here.
This was my first NES game ever, to this day I love digging out the box, maps and charts and going through it again, I'm doing it again now, doing much more leveling up than I ever bothered to do as a kid, and not allowing any of my members to die ever so everyone is at the same exp. I'm at Level 18 now and I just barely got the ruby lol
Heh, only after like 10 min I realized the names you put on the party members. I miss games that let you name things like characters or even your saves :(
The Moment when the Combat Music get Stucked in your Head
Pedro Henrique Kuhn Braun the battle system was also very engaging
Outstanding ! I won this game long time ago on the original NES (not emulated). Used 3 fighters and one white wizard. Took forever ! Those random encounters really slug the game down.
That opening theme. The feels😭
I always wanted to get into RPGs as a kid but I could never really figure out what to do or where to go... 😆 I went back to Ninja Gaiden and Contra 🎮
this is where it all started amazing games love the final fantasy games
If you love the 8 bit world and want a long dense journey. You found home.
At last! The longplay of FF 1! How I love this game...
Omg the music hit me immediately like I just played an hour ago.
I like how was hit points and levels jumped and all of a sudden have 10,000 gold
those open dialogue sounds would drive me nuts lol
Final Fantasy 1, where it all began!
I love this game.
Seems that all good games were born on the NES or the SNES...
I have the NES Mini, and I spent a fair amount of time playing this game. At first, my team was the Fighter, Black Belt, W. Mage and B. Mage, but I started a new file replacing Black Belt with a R. Mage because a guy I talked to on discord told me that Black Belt class gets weaker overtime and their bare fists are stronger than the weapons they can equip as they get stronger. As for Thief, he told me that there's a glitch on their speed stat and their stats are mediocre if I recall his words.
So far I'm doing pretty good having strong weapons, armor, and decent Black and White magic.
Why you call yourself tomboy? Lol
@@paulpatti8184 No one cares.
18:31 Me: this made me cry
Square enix: now, do you like purchase this dlc to continue with the history of our heroes?
Me: -_-
I was very little when I played this game on the nes. I first watched my older brother play it and then I tried it. The enemys are pretty hard to grind from the gecko
Geez you sure run a lot !
Ah yes, the good old days of having a HOUSE inside a fucking TREASURE CHEST.
Why have we modern gamers grown apart from classical 8 bit games like this one? Sure there was no blood and guts and age ratings for that matter, but we flocked to the classical 8 bit games anyway! No other game that I know of as of late can top the bridge scene!
oh yes i forgot about DLC loading time and Microtransactions
wtf so that's where that iconic ffxi music came from....wtf wow... wow just wow
Holy molly. Remember when this was a the top of gaming? Still is for some. You could see why, back in the 90s
1987
Loved this game.
From the day you make one to the day you complete the game you never, EVER waste any g on a weapon for the Bl. Belt Master. They will always do better damage bare handed.
5:35 - 5:42 there it is...! the reason I came!
billie coal dont say faggot do u even know what it means?
Wtf a random mob battle? Ok...
wow. i want to play this game so bad
cool roms . com
This--Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Look how far Square Enix (formerly Square co.) has come.
That NES charm
This video helped me in this game. =)
(Gameplay Parts completed: 1/4)
I think that all of the the final fantasy video games and computer games would be really really super fun to play if they didn't have all of these continuing non stop battles :-)
This game was so impossible to beat as a kid.
at least you know that a HAPPY END is coming....
My first time through I have a Fighter, Thief(my favorite), Blackbelt and Red Mage.
Wizardry Ultima Dragon Quest are what influenced this game. Hard to believe with all those mixed together made the best rpg for its time that is till part 3 came out on the nes real ground breaking.
Watched this, then watched a ffXV playthrough. Man have the graphics gotten better haha...
well duh beings this game was made in 1987...........
And yet the story was better in this game.
How can the sea be wild if there´s no wind?
Awesome, awesome, awesome game
As a young child that didn't know how RPG worked (and not knowing much English), I used to pick four fighters and go straight to Garland without buying anything, hope that I would survive with some luck and at 18:31, I thought that I had beaten the game and that was the end credits, and the gameplay after that was just post-end game content. "Why make the game more complicated than it needs to be?", I thought. But I also thought the battles was a bit boring because I couldn't fight control the characters, only tell them what to do and just stand there and take it while the enemies attack. Since I didn't know better, I just picked "Fight" until all the enemies were dead and hoping that I wouldn't die before I reached Garland.
from the look at the tombstone, this game takes place in the 7th century or 800s AD.
Unfortunately, I've never played this game.
But I love it!
It is a very good RPG for its time;
you should give it a try.
This is really something for those times
Looking back, there really is a lot less skill involved in the fight sequences than I remembered growing up.
The music reminds me so much of the old pokemon games
The Pokemon idea was stolen from Final Fantasy. Pokemon is a copy from some some old japanese RGP-games. The most of them gives only in japan. in this time we play japan-rpg as import or as us-version. in europe we dont have the most of them. the first final fantasy-parts we know it only as us-import or japan-import. When we play the us Final Fantasy 3 then we play the japan Final Fantasy 6. It was the time bevore the internet. lol
Bwoy OhneName Sn0w: This music reminds me of Pokémon.
You: *FINAL FANTASY CAME FIRST REEEEEEEE*
If you want to play this on ps1 is awesome but it requires lots and lots of grinding in order to advance levels and get access to new weapons, spells, etc but it is worth it, it is so much fun, much better than the NES version.
I neee to binge on retro games
I haven't felt this presence since...😂
OH THE NOSTALGIC FEELING
I got this game for my NES recently. When I save the game I hold Power and Reset at the same time like the game says. And when I turn the game back on sometimes the data is still there but other times the when I turn the game back on or change games altogether the data is gone and I have to start over. Is something wrong with the save battery or is this normal for this game. My other NES games that have save batteries (Zelda I & II) don’t seeing to have this problem. So do I need to change the battery or is this normal for this game?
Just play it on a emulator

I just ordered Final Fantasy x-2 for the Switch. It's going to be my first Final Fantasy game ever. I can't wait!
