  • Man, this so nostalgic! Although I've played it only on PSP. I missed the old FINAL FANTASY.

  • This opening spoils a lot :|

  • looks like i must play the ds-version.but i heard its very hard :(

    does anyone know if the psp edition is as hatd as the ds edition?

  • @Moalalala the psp version is not hard at all

  • @KarukaKuroichi really?looks like i must borrow my uncle´s psp

  • @Moalalala yea, in my opinion is the ds version is way harder than the psp version

  • red chocobo...can fly???

  • The DS version is best. They actually know how to keep characters looking good throughout the game despite having less graphical capabilities than the PSX.

  • @gsonic55 this game was not on the psx, the psx is a completely diferent system than ps1

  • @rjhreviews626 then what the hell is the psx?

  • @gsonic55 its a DVR/Gaming console made by Sony

  • @rjhreviews626 Oh. I had no idea what it was. I just assumed. ...you know when you don't know much about something and always have assumed something about it. Yeah that's what happened to me. I thought for some odd reason that the PSX was the same as PS1. Don't ask me why. I have no clue why.

  • @gsonic55 thats ok alot of people confuse them

  • that graphics and animation was even worse than the game

  • since when do you get to ride a zu in this game?

  • @TheSystemError wasnt a zu, it was a black chocobo :p

  • ff7 looked like someone shit on a dick and dont bitcha t me cause its the first one i played and i really didnt like it... not like you can force me to either...

  • does this mean that the graphic is DS > PSX ?

  • gawd this opening has too many spoilers!!!

  • The PSX version came first in Japan in 1997. The US version was released in 2001.

  • The opening graphics were great, not the best, but great. But that's not why you play a game. The ingame graphics were amazing sprite-based graphics, and that's where the game really shines.

  • Why FF7 Cutscenes are better than this ? >.<

  • @pamint This one was made long before the FF7 came out idiot

  • Comment removed

  • Where are Tellah and Edward? :<

  • this game has better graphs. than the DS version :P

  • @oddlyoko2000 U think so-__-? Because the DS opening is definitely better than this.

  • SPOILERS in the opening?! that is FAR worse than the graphics!

  • @BlackandBlueMage Agreed. I was looking characters up on finalfantasywikia as I've been recently pushing through the FFIV DS and saw the poses of Palom and Porom and thought the same. Spoiler alert.

  • @BlackandBlueMage So that means you're one of the 3 people playing FF IV for the first time on PSX? ;) I really think the game was intended more for fans than new converts.

  • "if you are a true gamer then you MUST think that chrono trigger's or any other SNES/NES games graphics are JUST AS GOOD OR EVEN BETTER THAN Halo: reach's or even mw2's graphics"

    To think something like that you would have to be blind, because they are obviously "not as good or better than" it's one thing to tell people to look beyond the graphics but they are not "just as good" by any means the game itself may be, but not the graphics

    Also my whole comment was suppose to be comical

  • @XcXtrippyXcX Yeah, like when i play after the works all done, i have a ps3 with the ps games i bought on my account, so i go from like 60-bit to 8-bit. its a big difference but the game itself is great, graphics dont matter to me. By the way, i didnt read the comical part till i was done typing lol

  • if you are a true gamer then you MUST think that chrono trigger's or any other SNES/NES games graphics are JUST AS GOOD OR EVEN BETTER THAN Halo: reach's or even mw2's graphics :/

  • @McScreamo So you say that to be a "true gamer" you have to be blind?

    "Watch me beat ninja gaiden BLINDFOLDED in order to prove myself as the superior nerd!!"

    XD

  • @XcXtrippyXcX no one said blind :/ and how the hell can't you see SNES graphics? on second thought you probably are blind

  • FF4 >>> FF1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13

  • I can't complain about the graphics, I know who every body is when I see them, and they give it a feeling of Anime. Nothing wrong here!

  • Why are these graphics so bad, the opening scene's from Final Fantasy I and II were great for a PsX

  • Cid looks the best out of all of them. xD

  • It was made in 1997, with VII and FFT, but only release here years after it`s original date. Yeah, US Square truly sucks.

  • @Volviert

    If graphics all you can pick out of the game Volvert go do someting productive like walking your dog...instead of comenting on games. True gamers do not care abut graphics as much as replay value and storyline. All the FF always had most advence graphics for the time it was created. (openings and such) As for game graphics keep in mind that game systems and media can hold only so much data with FF being the longest games better graphics just not feasible on older systems.

  • @SilverBarsa Compare this opening to, say, FFVIII's opening and tell me the PlayStation couldn't do better. If this was the intro to the Japanese 97 release, then that only shows how poorly the transition was handled: they didn't even bother to update it. On a related note, these graphics are impressive by 97 standards.

  • @sabombardonist FF origins were released 2 years later, in 2003 thats why.

  • @sabombardonist oh shit sorry wrong reply xD

  • THE HEART OF THE CREATOR OF FINAL FANTASY IS WORKING ON A NEW TITLE THAT WILL BE RELEASED IN THIS YEAR (2010) ON JAPAN. AND THE NAME OF THIS TITLE IS...

    THE LAST STORY (SOUNDS TO FINAL FANTASY) AND WILL BE COMPOSE BY THE TRUE COMPOSER OF FINAL FANTASY = NOBUO UEMATSU!!!!!!!

    COME ON!! HIRONOBU SAKAGUCHI AND NOBUO UEMATSU. SHOW THE POWER OF ART TO ENIX!!!!!!!!!!

  • AND HIRONOBU SAKAGUCHI, NOBUO UEMATSU, YOSHITAKA AMANO, YOSHINORI KITASE, ETC ARE THE TRUE CREATORS OF FINAL FANTASY!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE ENIX (LIKE BARRET HATES SHINRA!!!!!!!). THE REMAKES OF SQUARE-"ENIX" HAVE THE MUSIC RUINED. HOW THEY DARE TO DO THIS TO THE TRUE FINAL FANTASY COMPOSER = NOBUO UEMATSU. THE TRUE REMAKE THAT KEEPS THE ESCENSE OF FINAL FANTASY ARE LIKE THIS VIDEO IS SHOWING (REMAKES OF THE OLD TIMES OF "SQUARESOFT").

    BARRET SAYS: I HATE ENIX AND SHINRA MORE THAN EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • HHHEEEEEEYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE ENDING CG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW COULD YOU PUT IT LIKE THE OPENING. I PLAYED WHEN IT WAS RELEASED. BUT THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T PLAYED THE GAME, THEY WILL BE WATCHING THE ENDING WITH THIS VIDEO THAT YOU UPLOAD.

  • When I bought Chrono trigger I got this game too.... will never complete it because it is a boring stoneage game.

  • hey i got the pal version of the game and i aint got this intro all i got is the first 20 seconds then the title screen comes up.

  • Terrible, just terrible. They could do a whole lot better, even back then. In fact, remember that Final Fantasy movie that had nothing to do with Final Fantasy? That was released the same year as this game. Using logic, we then realize this was crappy for its time, and will remain crappy forever. It looks like a prototype 3D cutscene from 1995.

  • @SiGhast This was only a remake...

    They could have done the game in 3D but they didn't...

    You can see it with all the remakes created for the PSX

  • @tearsandsuicide

    It was indeed just a remake, but I still think they did a piss-poor job with that CG. Way more effort went into the DS remake, to say the least.

  • @SiGhast But we must remember that FF IV for the DS was made not only by Square...It was Square-Enix :P

    So it's clear that it had much more effort... But i agree that the CG are a little BAD...

  • Oh so there was a PS version of IV ! But was there one for III? (The one with Luneth not Terra)

  • It's amazing to see how FFIV got about 3 remakes on both Song AND Nintendo consoles/portable consoles, which beats the highly acclaimed FFVII, which hasn't received a single remake, though did receive a few "side plots." Pretty neat, and FFIV is my favorite of the FF games I've played, though VII and VIII are awesome too. Just a lil "overused."

  • @epicxpegasus I wouldnt want them to remake it that game was ridiculously epic

  • lol, it's kinda of cute

  • el meo pedaso de juego ;D

  • too bad Final fantasy chronicles suffer for muffle sound effect in FF4 and long load time in Chrono Trigger...........

    great game,though,..................­...

  • ds remake r not developed by square enix............

    its by Matrix Software who also develop a remake ff3 DS............

  • any one respond plz send me a link of final fantasy tactics with the cue plz plz plz

  • didnt know ders a ps version of this.

  • yup it part of final fantasy chronicles, It was a two game package, it had FFIV and Chronotrigger in one package. Talk about fucking epic huh

  • The graphics are no bery good but for the rest the game is not bad.

  • cids lookin feroucious.like dj homocidal rottweiler ferocious

  • @Kubilay12

    I agree all these people are being stupid

  • wow this opening sucks balls

  • the ps version was released way earlier than the ds version!!! goddamn fucking white people! stop complainng about the ps version!!!

  • The graphics sucks! but i remember...when i saw this game in Wal Mart i was like.*0* ...When i started to play it...i was thinking woow its too real the graphics XD!!

  • Guys, you have to remember that it was a different time and these graphics were like the holy grail back then, jeez, don't be so fucking stupid.

  • These graphics were just as bad back then too, this came out in 2001, after FF7, 8 9 and the PS2.

  • yeah, but the plotline is arguably as good as 7's, it rapes 8 and is better than 9's... graphics dont mean everything, as long as you enjoy the game play and storyline, graphics are a bonus! not to say that graphics don't make it easier to play, because they do! ^_^

  • Yeah, it's kinda weird how bad it is when FFVIII & IX's FMVs were amazing.

  • they really cheaped out on these fmv's didnt they

  • @Link4587452 WRONG. Japanese version came out 1997, the same as final fantasy 7, so the graphics are comparable to that. so the graphics don't suck. they are normal for that time.

  • @Link4587452 This game came out in 1998 in Japan, 2001 was the american release

  • @Link4587452 Not to mention that the CG cutscenes in FF1+2 were far better.

  • @stormbringer350 Agreed.

  • @stormbringer350

    No not really.

    They did a much better job with the CGI of 8 and 9, both of which came out around the same time as well.

  • @stormbringer350

    everything but the character models, and the explosions

    is good graphics

  • THE DS ONE IS GOOD GRRRYYYAAAA!!!

  • DS opening kicks ass compared to this and the DS one isn't that good for **** sake!

  • Man, the DS opening is like 100 times better. I don't know now if I'm going to get FF IV for my playstation. God, that just looks awful.

  • The PS version was made years before the DS. So duh the graphic are going to look outdated.

  • At least the DS opening didnt ruin the fucking game.

  • @Broshmosh Thats what i was thinkg ffs they showed Palom and Porom turn to stong like WTF?! What if I had not played this game.,..id be pissed. "ohpe sorry we accidentally showed you the good parts in the story" DS = better intro hands down

  • 1:17

    ...Cid looks...odd.

  • they could probably put every one of the FF games that came before FF7 on a single disc nowadays. that would make my day.

  • i'm suprised that most FFs are under 300mb...

  • they remade I and II for PSP III and IV for DS

    there all on one disc

    next would be V and VI, then all 6/8-bit final fantasies would be remade, i wonder which system they'll be for?

    then HOPEFULLY they'll remake VII VIII and IX for PS3

  • wow, okay i was just expressing my opinion on what i think would be cool for the FUTURE, i never said anything about like 2 years, so why dont you stop being a little tough guy over the internet okay you fucking douche

  • rofl ds beat this

  • true now, but back then this was awesome, probably i wasnt alive

  • Comment removed

  • este opening es de final fantasy Origins en ps2 cuando lo juguen estaran seguros..

    yo hace 10 años atras lo jugue en mi nintendo

    saludos ah todos

    atte:

    CRISTIAN LAU. FAL.

  • this may be old, but it still looks pretty cool.

  • Edge looks cool =D

  • lol the openin credits are ps2 graphics

  • they should remake it 4 ps3 with the graphics of the ds intro

  • the remakes will continue until the endless generation.

  • sad how this looks waaaay btr on ds....

  • in a good way =P

  • Not really, the DS is 11 years newer than the PSX.

  • im really surprised but the DS intro is actually alot more graphically "cool" then this one.

  • agreed i like the ds intro alot more ^^

  • To be fair, this was made in 1997 whereas the DS version came out in '08. Though i am kinda annoyed how the FF back catalogue is spread over so many different consoles now - the newest versions of the games are on PSP, PS1, OR DS :/.

  • Well, handhelds are the best choice for RPGs. Espeicially when we're talking Final Fantasy.

    An RPG on a console would have high standards because of the current technology used today. If the games just had basic, turnbased gameplay, and was put to consoles these days, then it would get hit by a lot of negative responses.

    When a game is on a console, the majority of the society expects to see something more revolutionary.

  • Yes, the point of that part of my comment is that in order to play FF3 nowadays, i either have to ebay the original famcom version (which when last i checked was on at upwards of £80) or to buy a DS, seeing as I dont have one and i don't particularly want to get one for the one game.

  • sorry, but i'm a graphics whore and i think i'll stick to the DS version because all i was thinking when watching this was "thundercats!"

    *cringe*

  • cid looks awsome at 1:18

  • It's sad to think that ffvii still looks just like that while all the old ones are being remade..

  • FF7 is overrated.

  • i concur.

  • where's tellah?

  • ACTION PACKED!

  • Snes FTW!

  • i like the ds one more

    looks better

  • OMG

    cid looks evil

    ahaha!

    that made me laugh

  • Cid looks a lot like Robotnik. Maybe they're related

  • this intro used to crack me up cause it had the most spoilers you can see in an intro in gaming history

  • The DS opening is almost as guilty.

  • The only spoiler in the intro for the DS is the Lunar Whale emerging and Cecil becoming a paladin, and this is just a huge clipping of spoilers

  • Oh wow. This brings back so many memories of painstaking hours working through Final Fantasy Chronicles, Anthology, and Chrono Cross. Good times, social isolation aside.

  • Ew, this has FFVII graphics. The DS opening is a million times better.

  • uhm, thats the whole point, what are you, braindead or something?

    Atleast this isnt broken like the DS version.

  • iight yo dont diss tha ds version of tha opening even tho magicalmerge diss ff7 and ff4 about their graphics but what i dont think this Kid! knows is that this tha PS1 not ps2 so for its time its ok but tha ds one is better bc of this day and age feel me

  • sorry but i didnt understand any of that

  • ok tha kid you replyed 2 his/her name is magic w/e rite and he said ew to ff7 graphics and ff4's opening had use tha same type of graphics as ff7 and s/he is actin like this game came out yesterday and it didnt its old its on tha ps1 not the ps2 and i used ps2 because ps2 still has games cumin out 4 it

    and tha end of what i said is not hard to understand rite =] if you dont just tell me

  • The DS version isn't broken, the DS version is the original FFII.

  • Then why was it out for the Snes (super nintendo) first?

    and yes it is, it was made way to easy, atleast the Snes version gave a challenge.

  • Because the DS version was built to emulate the original FFII which was the 'hard type' version Japan had.

  • i liked it better before the ATB though, made it more challenging

  • I like the DS version it is challenging inf you make it to be....

  • The PS is older than the DS. So of course it's graphics are going to outdated.

  • As far as looks go:

    Teddy = WIN

    Paladin! Cecil =/= win.

    Haha Teddy wins. >:3

  • I like the manga style a better than the realistic style they use now,

  • LOL Edge's running.

    BTW, doesn't Cid look mencaning!?

  • your balls

  • stop talking about my balls you gay perv!

  • rofl!

    the DS remake is so different,

    but this is still undoubtedly legendary :D

  • So much different than the DS remake OP 0o0 I like both ^^ Except Cecil riding on the black chocobo looks kinda silly ^^;;

  • Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

  • Wtf i have FFIV on Playstation and the opening is like 30 sec and its boot on the menu...

  • It's been awhile since last I played it but I think they clipped the opening and ending vids together

  • lol Okay Thanks for the reply ^^

  • You know even though the ds opening is complete dynamite some parts of this one would had been cool as well. I blinked when I saw this graphics. Its like seeing comedy version of the characters. What a long way we have come.

  • Wow, Square has come a LOOOONG way in CG.

    Compare this to the DS version and the quality jump is like from ET to Super Mario World.

  • Looks just liek the FMV's from FF7! FUKKEN AWESOME! 5/5!

  • It looks like some college students did it.

  • cecils almost twice the size of that chocobo, lol

  • My friend asked me to transcribe this for him

  • the game is awesome on snes and ds!

    i love both the retro graphics and the new graphics.and the soundtrack,characters and storyline....it's pure beauty:)

    by the way,the ds intro is way better!

  • Rofl, Cid looked like Dr. Robotnik.

  • Tellah: You spoony bard!

  • edward: please i didnt kill anna. it was golbez.

  • graphics arent everything about a game jeez

  • im so glad i didnt first play this on psx *PSone i think?*...after seeing this into, then actually playing the game, and getting 2d, and getting a flying chocobo once, i would be beyond pissed -.-....

  • Grahs are bad b4t this is the best ff of all time

  • i wish they had kept the oldy graphics for the gameboy advanced version. its not my fault its now impossible to find the PSX one(or the fact that i have zero funds for a DS)

  • just download the rom file and a psx emulator. hope that helps

  • Question is: why is this vid so horrific compared to those in FF anthology, which was released 2 years before FF Chronicles (by horrific I mean the CGI characters look like shit). Did they get lazy or something?

  • YES! I AGREE! i loved this game! im so sad that they look like lil chibi cubes now T_T

  • Um not ALL of them didn't die... reply it man...

  • the old guy dies, his daughter dies, the king started out dead sorta...

    iuno how many more u want dead to satasfy your lil dark needs but yea...

  • This game has gone a long way.

    The DS version's so epic

  • So true.
