Conclusioni
Whether or not to play this game is a hell of a question, especially after I so slammed RPGOne’s shoddy translation of Final Fantasy VI.
Having completed this game, I would say play it — but cheat. It is not worth spending the amount of time leveling that this game would force you to. Leveling up should not be such a painful, mandatory experience, and the game should not be so unbearably difficult if you do not dedicate hours and hours to building up your party.
For anyone who beat Final Fantasy VII, you will not find anything new in the game in terms of story. The script is almost identical — though a little more fun to read in Chinese — and the game systems are not nearly as refined.
However, it is a new 8-bit Final Fantasy. For anyone who wanted to see a later Final Fantasy re-done in classic style, this is your chance. Were the not-so-kickin’ tunes less aurally offensive, I dare say this title can hold its own against the other NES Final Fantasy games. But jumping back into such an old style may prove too much for players who have grown accustomed to Game Boy Advance or DS remakes.
All in all, this is a great NES RPG and a surprisingly professional unlicensed cartridge. Expect it to have flaws and treat it like you would a beta of the never-finished NES Final Fantasy IV and it will provide hours of entertainment. Certainly more than many Final Fantasy-based ROM hacks would; perhaps to the exclusion of Dragoon X Omega II — a game that would have been so much cooler with a less sophomoric name.
That said, enjoy a whopping 138 screen shots from my play through this game. I captured almost every scene and every menu. I hope they will give you an idea of just how complete this NES port really is.
