Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls

You know, I just beat Final Fantasy Origins about a year ago. It was awesome, but it was a monumental drain on my mental gaming stability. This game is basically the same package, only with some extra stuff added.

That said, yeah I'm gonna buy it, in spite of how furious I got with FF2. Dawn of Souls actually includes a brand new option that makes me genuinely interested in re-playing these two games: you can save anywhere at any time! Thank God Almighty! Finally, I can save my game right before going up against a nasty boss, instead of having to backtrack all the way back out of a dungeon so I can save on the world map. The convenience of that single option (and the fact that there just aren't that many great GBA games coming out in the next few months) is definitely enough to convince me to buy it.

Oh, and the "Dawn of Souls" thing isn't just a new sidequest or two. It's an entirely new chapter added into the games, that apparently affects the plot of each title greatly.

Hopefully Square continues along this line of thinking and re-releases all of the 2D FF games on Nintendo's handhelds. We're already getting 1 and 2 on GBA, and 3 on the DS. Now I just want to see the DS get 4, 5, 6 and maybe Chrono Trigger. I'll be a happy man if it happens.

wow, when does th DS come out? And I probably will buy Dawn of Souls as well (they should rerelease the original tactics)

The DS is already out. Go pick on up!

SON OF A BITCH? is it? Damn, I'll put it down as a gift I want o.o

Im asking for one too. I was going to ask for a GBA, but since DS plays GBA games.

I'm not quite sure if I want to get a DS. I was never into the whole handheld thing, even though I did get a GBA and beat a few games. I'm really hoping that I can find FFVII to hold me over on Playstation.

Handheld gaming isn't necessarily for everyone. I never really liked handheld games until I bought my GBA SP, but after I did, it became my second-favorite piece of gaming hardware after my Gamecube.

You have no idea how much something as simple as backlighting can affect your opinion of handheld games.
