![]() ![]() Most multicarts don't allow for saved games at all - FF1+2 is like a weird exception to that. I'm not aware of any multicart mappers that allow for more PRG than that which also allow for the necessary 24K + of SRAM you'd need for each game to be able to save. I hear FF3 is really tight on space, and most recent attempts at retranslations have pushed it up to 1MB with a switch to MMC5.Īn FF1+2+3 multicart would certainly be possible, but you'd have to switch all three games over to MMC5 and you wouldn't be able to expand any of them - 1 MB is the limit for MMC5 and that's exactly how much you'd need for all three original games. FF1 and FF2 are at 256K and FF3 is at 512K. KingMike is right about the actual PRG sizes. I'm really impressed by this whole community - everyone seems so dedicated to these projects. I'm definitely curious to see if anything comes of updating FF I + II, though - I mentioned it as an aside in my previous post, but you guys seem like you already have some great ideas for it. All the same, I like the way the leveling system works in all three games, which I guess is what draws me back to them all these years later. ![]() If I remember correctly, the Legend games were originally part of the SaGa series, while FF II was directed by the creator of the same series. On a side note, I did play through Final Fantasy Legend II and III on the original Game Boy, which probably explains why I like FF II on the NES so much. Maybe I'll give III another go once Chaos Rush finishes his translation. I tried my hand at the translations of III for the NES and V for the SNES, but lost interest both times. I have played through I, II, IV (the original US SNES version, as well as the GBA remake) and VI (also the US SNES version) though I never made it past that point. It's funny, really - Final Fantasy isn't my favorite game series, by any stretch, but I've always had a soft spot for the original NES release. I also like the older, bolder font used in that game as, as some previous posts have mentioned, I prefer playing these games on a CRT screen. It's nice to be able to play FF II on the original NES without having to stumble through the prototype translation, though to be fair, I always found Square's official translation of the first FF game to be more than adequate. Like Chaos Rush said, I'm happy just to have an updated FF II translation, along with a separate ROM for the original game. Granted, most of my experience has been with pallete swaps and re-written text, so some of the updates seen in those other FF hacks are way, way beyond me! What limited knowledge of hacking I do have, I know that there are limitations to just how many alterations can be made to the original ROM. I had the same thought when I mentioned updating the FF I + II ROM in my other post.
