no offense to the devs as I see this is their Jr Dev debut, but we have at least 3-4 versions of these games (at least one of those is almost exactly this same version) and all we have here is a progression checklist for things weve done 3-4 times already. Not a single interesting challenge or side objective... anything really to get playera to play even a little differently. And no, spamming cure in the menu until lvl 16 in ff2 isn't a challenge, its a chore.

I put this here because FF IV, V and VI all have different versions and each of those games at least try to make you defeat bosses or complete levels differently.

This is meant only in a constructive manner, as I feel a good job was done with what could be the "base" part of the set, buy it certainly would benefit from more.

Hey jeftah, I'm gonna share my opinion on this. Unfortunately, FFI, specialy this type (NES / PSX) we don't exactly have too much on variety to add on bosses or things like that. My idea was to make a Subset to play as 4 characters with the same job, each for every job, though the admins did not approve my idea.

As for FFII, I also had an idea for a Subset, though it was going to be based on Opera Omnia. Leon having to level up Sword and Drain, Leila leveling Knives and Thunder, and etc etc. Yes, it was going to be a chore, but I don't we could do much with FFII.

I have many many good ideas for more 'recent' Final Fantasy games, like X, X-2, Type-0, even other J-RPGS like Xenosaga and action games like Onimusha. Unfortunately though, I'm not good at all making the achievements themselves, coding. I have more creativity to name them and give the conditions. Wish I could work only with this, and not coding them.

Hey don't feel down; as I said it's a great base set and your first - massive kudos to you and thanks for the set. I may have sounded a bit harsh above, but it's mostly because it's my favorite port of both games and it feels like just doing the same things for the 4th time.

It's a shame the subset wasn't approved (why? it's different enough from the PSP one, and you could say arguably much harder. I actually read the forum post and agreed with your reasoning there), and I know there's some limits to how simple the NES games can be, but a challenge can be something like: "Defeat the Lich with no characters dying" or in FF2, "Beat the game using NOTHING but your fists and items." Fists are the best weapons in FF2 other than the Blood Sword, they cost nothing, you always have them, can be paired with a shield, and would just teach the player how silly and overpowered they are. Also you could use weapons as items to cast certain spells. Again, just a simple idea for a fun run through.

Your ideas are interesting, to be honest. Set revisions are always possible, so you could suggest some stuff at the forum. I really wanted to make that Subset though, a shame they didn't let me.

Which version of the ROM? The version I got said it doesn't have any achievements!!!!

Check the 'Linked Hashes' at the More Info section

Decent version of FF1. Don't see any post-game content, but I'm ok with that. Too much RNG with the FF1 bonus dungeons and trying to get your party together in Soul of Rebirth.

The warmech cheevo confused me. Do you have to beat it without ailments or ohko spells or do you have to beat it without dying/any ailments inflicted?

r0ach3d 6 Nov 2022 21:46

It didn't work for me until I beat warmech without having a character KO. I never tried casting death spells or giving it a status but it didn't grant the achievement until I got him without losing a character.
Don't think it even has any status attacks.

Greatly enjoyed this set!

Redacting a previous comment of mine, in which I pointed out a few achievements that failed to register -- the problem seems to be exclusive to PCSX ReARMed. Origins runs like molasses on Beetle PSX in my experience, but the achievements procced just fine.

Elbody 21 Dec 2022 07:02

Beautiful set, straight to the point, no cringe challenges, just good old collectathon and complation of an already good game. Very recomended, mastered!

Mophmeister 25 Jan 2023 14:50

Mastered! Really enjoyed this set which showcased both games very well, thank you for making it. FF1's IGT was 26:04, FF2's IGT was 42:59. This was my first time beating FF2. Really unpleasant game for grinding but it's over at least!

Wishing I read this first, but be careful playing this in PCSX ReARMed, several cheevos didn't pop in FF2 including finishing the game and 100% bestiary entries.

AlexanderStarship 10 Feb 2023 20:59

I'm kind of disappointed that there isn't a cheevo for viewing the world out the window in the flying fortress in FF1. It's a totally optional and potentially missable cutscene that shows the power of the four altars flowing into the temple of ruin.

Finished the FF1 Cheevos. Great set so far.
