- In honor of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection, we reveal seven things you (probably) didn't know about the original three RPGs on NES - from their real names to their secret connection to Dungeons & Dragons.

The FF3 pixel remaster absolutely slaps btw, I just finished it earlier today and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for in terms of turn-based JRPGs
I wouldn't waste my time the difficulty is insulting braindead compared to the original.
Prelude isn't the Final Fantasy series' main theme. Final Fantasy's main theme is called Final Fantasy and it's incredible. It plays as you cross the bridge for the first time in FFI, when Cecil and Kain leave Baron, and it often plays during the ending credits.
One of my favourite pieces of music of all time!
a bit of misinformation. the Crystal Theme (aka the Prelude) is not the main theme of the series. That honor goes to the theme known as Final Fantasy (also called Prologue)
When that person was talking about how Final Fantasy I was based on Dungeons and Dragons, the guy forgot to bring up that one of the monsters was changed overseas. It was the Eye monster and in Japan, it was basically the Beholder, a staple D&D monster.
Viewing it as a DnD game makes a playthrough feel different
Huh, I forgot all about that. Yeah, the original sprite is blatantly a rip-off of a beholder and the one they replaced it with looks like a pretty lame afterthought in comparison. I guess that's why they switched over to the "ahriman" style of enemy after that..?
@@0Fyrebrand0 I think we can say that aside from a few enemies from Final Fantasy I, the rest of the series had its own identity in terms of original enemies, like the Bomb, Malboro, Iron Giant, Tonberry, and Cactuar.
One of my favorite changes from nes ff1 was having your party attack the next monster if the target died, no more having to remember ene. Hp. 🤩😎
The Prelude is not the main theme.
the main theme is the main theme of ff1
WHY isn’t this on Switch!?
It'll be on the steam deck at least
Give it time.
This video feels like it's being narrated by a 70-year old flight attendant on Zoloft.
Thanks for the tips, Kat.
Calling the Prelude FF’s main theme? Rookie move.
I need Square to drop these on Switch.
I already got every mainline FF game available on Switch.
That shouldn't keep you from loving these remakes
@@hellsfactory8605
Read first sentence again... unless your ASSUMING I never played every FF game...
@@USMCbrantley o I can read I'm saying it shouldn't matter if the come to console or not
Square straight up lied about the features. How surprising
Playing FF1 on my iphone isnt too bad. I was playing FF8 on mobile and i was enjoying it, but i think I’ll keep the 8 bit games on the iphone, and the bigger 3d games on my ipad mini. I have the switch, but its nice to be able to play on mobile, and with some extra features too, like max stats.
I have that FFX soundtrack but never tried looking up a translation of the book that came with it. Interesting stuff.
these new pixelated releases are very charming. I might even give FF 3 and 5 (when it comes out) a try. I still haven't played those.
I do think that, visually, the PSP versions of these Final Fantasy games are better. only in the graphic style aspect tho, cuz the music in this new remaster collection is very good. very good indeed.
just for the music alone is worth playing these games again, I would say. just like they did with that new Legend of mana remaster. the game looks and feels old, but the music is in a complete different level. high quality stuff.
actually, that's the real reason why I'm giving these ancient FF games a try, cuz to hell with random battles!!!!!!!
no matter how good the game is, or if it is a cult classic or whatever. it has random battles? well, fuq dat shit. I ain't playing that game.
just kidding. Imma play them all, eventually 😁
get rid of that archaic gameplay tho. no need for random battles in RPGs nowadays. it ain't fun.
Kat is by far my favourite game journalist. Her podcasts before ign are some of the most insightful discussions about the rpg genre.
I think Kat is an extremely big poopy head.
@@MRBINKY85 bwahaha
I think I've only ever heard her as a guest on Retronauts, but yeah, she's good. I should check out Axe of the Blood God, is that what you were referring to?
No comments…? Might bite at buying these when there’s an iOS bundle…
Totally fair! I bought it just to see how it would be and I just say my mind is totally changed. This port job is amazing. I do wish it had the extra stuff since ff1 is based on the gba difficulty rather than the NES difficulty already but sae la vie. I hope if you do grab them you enjoy them!
@@malpercio123 I’ve bought every other original iOS release of the FF series…(1-9) so my desire is waning a little that they deprecated the original 6 as OLD, just to resell these again… I do kinda like the 3D FF3, FF4, and kinda wish they’d given this treatment to FF6, and ChronoTrigger!!
I actually quite liked the sprite refresh for the original iOS release of FF5 and FF6… so going back to jagged SNES sprites which are worse than emulators with all the filters… is not that appealing, AND FULL PRICE?!
I mean Square is spending resources pulling stunts like this… when they could be remaking or revisiting games like Parasite Eve, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Vagrant Story, Front Mission, or Brave Fencer Musashi?
LOL it’s the 30th anniversary of Square’s Tom Sawyer… a remaster and cultural adjustment to the 2020s would be amusing to witness, as the game was kinda fun and had interesting concepts (if you ignored the awful racist stereotypes and character designs)…
Yay Kat!
I want to get isekai'd into Final Fantasy world!
Which one?
@@0Fyrebrand0 How about Final Fantasy VII?
There's actually a manga about a brother sister pair who get isekai'd to the world of FF.
It's called Final Fantasy Lost Stranger
I'm playing it and it is indeed definitive edition. If you think otherwise flight me!!
But the Pixel Remaster is NOT the Famicom release in English. It's much closer to the Dawn of Souls GBA release.
Script wise yes
Dawn of Souls remains the best version of the first FF, probably only the PSP release surpasses it
Edit: Also, removing the additional content from those versions already means that this release isn't the definitive edition
Dawn of Souls is so dreadfully easy that it was no fun for me. It's an easier version of the Easy Mode from Origins except you can't switch it off.
Personally I feel like Origins (using a port of the WSC remake) is still the best version of FF1
@@M_Alexander In terms of official releases (no mods/hacks), the best versions for me are Dawn of Souls for content (on PSP, alternatively 3DS if you can speak Japanese), the PS1 version for having the most accurate gameplay even with the QoL changes, and the pixel remaster for newcomers to the game itself.
@@M_Alexander same so now im just playing the wsc version and a lill bit of the nes version omw to and from work
Finally a video about FF1-FF3 that shows footage from translations of _the actual Famicom versions,_ instead of just showing random remakes and pretending that those versions were the original versions.
These aren't 7 things final fantasy fans didn't know about the franchise. Most of what you covered here is common knowledge and has been for a long time.
FF II (US) is actually FFIV? Wow, you don't say; we've never heard that before...
Does it gave cheats?
Didn't realize there was anyone on the ign staff that actually knew anything about videogames.
Narrator sounds too bored and monotonous.
I like the narrator's voice. I feel calm and safe when hearing the narrator's voice. :)
@@universalsinewave7559narrator sounds like a soft, zero testosterone transformer, and probably is
I can't be the only person who hates this strange language bowdlerization of using the word "accessible" when you really mean "easy."
I feel like this should be more interesting than it is, but the narration is just so zzzzzzzzzz
Don't waste your time with the pixel remaster there's no difficulty at all
