"April 09, 2004 - Square Enix has announced Final Fantasy 1&2 Advance for the Game Boy Advance. This coupling of the first two games in the Final Fantasy series, both originally released on the Nintendo Famicom system (NES in America) will feature lots of improvements over the original titles.

Final Fantasy 1 sets you on an adventure to find and return crystals of light. The cast of four heroes and heroines are still without initial names in this remake. In addition to the ability to save anywhere and some gameplay changes, Square Enix will be including a new dungeon called "Soul of Chaos." Within this dungeon rest four "Chaos Spirits," along with some powerful items that didn't appear in the original and some well-known bosses from Final Fantasy lore.
FF2 features four named heroes, Maria, Guy, Leonheart and Frioniel, who attempt to protect the world from a massive empire. Square Enix is promising new gameplay elements, but perhaps of more interest to fans of FF lore is a story update in the form of a new chapter called "Soul of Re-Birth." This chapter features new events, monsters and items.

This collection is due for Japanese release in July. An American release is expected, but has yet to be announced by Square Enix. The pictures included with this story come from the upcoming issue of Japan's Weekly Jump Magazine." - From IGN.

Sounds cool and all but they already remade those two for PSX and now they're gonna do it again? I don't think many people will buy it.

here are the images. it looks just like FF Origins.

Just figured I would add this here. Final Fantasy I and II Advance has been delayed after they ran across some problems. It was originally supposed to be released on July 15 in Japan.

I'm all over getting FF 1 & 2 for the GBA.

I love playing Crack Tactics Advance...though I have the old GBA without the backlight and playing gets kinda tough without excessive amounts of lite.

It's Fuschia, goddammit.

Well the new release date has been set for it...July 29th in Japan(my B-day)^_^
I guess they alread took care of the problem so it probably won't be pushed back much here if at all.

My brother found me a copy of the NES FF1 for 5 bucks at a garage sale..lol So you could try your luck there. I've actually run across some high demand games at Flea markets and garage sales.

i have had FF1 NES 3 times, the first time way back in the day when i got NES..

then a few years later it got lost in a move, so i got it again a few years later..

this last time i got it in VA for 3 bucks in a used game store at the mall where my bro lives...

then i couldnt play it cause my NES fuked up so i let my bro take alot of my games.. i got alot of the good ones back a few days ago, but FF1 wasnt one of them
