back in 1987, Final Fantasy was supposed to be a one
time game. Final. Fantasy. As in, it's the
last one, buddy. However, destiny had other plans
for Hirobonubu Sakaguchi and his seminal creation.
Twenty years and twelve canonical games later, the
franchise is still going strong and reaping the
rewards of a property that pays big dividends.
Booting up the game this morning, we enjoyed the cinematic
introduction which features a blue-armored warrior
fighting a massive red dragon. Upon starting an
adventure, players may select the language -
Japanese or English. The
game also features improved graphics, the bonus
dungeons from the Gameboy/Wonderswan versions of the
game, and an entirely new dungeon dubbed "The
Labyrinth of Time" which enforces a time limit
within which you can explore its dank depths.
Another bonus is an unlockable Yoshitaka Amano Art Gallery
which contains beautiful color work from the artist
who has provided the illustrations for the series. A
bestiary and a BGM music player (unlockable) rounds
out the feature set in the game.
Since we've played through the game a few times through the years,
we're not going to play this one again this week but
we'll give it a go in the near future so we can
check out the updated sights and sounds. Early
impressions are favorable - the graphics are
delightfully crisp and bright on the PSP screen and
the music is rich and resonant. One downside is the
lack of analog control - only the d-pad is usable
for movement. «more» |
