Im a new FF fan. Ive played FF7 and FF10, so I know what this series is all about. Now I want to get the rest of the games and my first thought is getting them in order of their release date. So first, im planning to get I & II. My first question is, what version should I get, Origins or Dawn of Souls? I dont really care about the extra dungeons, so that wont matter on the chance of me getting DoS. Origins is like 25$ less than DoS, so I am really thinking on getting Origins. But coming to mind is the difficulty level. Like I said, im a new FF fan and I sort of want an easyer type FF game to get the overall feel of it. So for those who have played both, what is the easier version? Also, what game has better graphics? If the graphics are both the same, I will probly get Origins, but just to make sure. So can anyone answer my questions?

get 'em both . FFO is a great game though .

Eh I would go with Origins. It is a direct translation so you would get a better feel of how the series developed and what drove many of us to the series. As for difficulty, FF1 in Origins has a setting for easy or hard. The original FF1 wwas only set in hard, so that may help you abit. FF: DoS chaged several things with how both games played. It may be easier to you or harder to you, but if you trully desire to explore the greatness of these games get Origins.

Thanks for your advice, mythus

On the other hand DoS is portable, and I didn't think O was a direct translation.

Origins

• Better translation than the NES version
  
• Opening FMVs for both games
  
• Almost-orchestral-quality music
  
• Complete bestiary for all the monsters you've fought
  
• Extensive Amano art galleries for both games

Dawn of Souls

• Better translation than Origins
  
• Impressive graphics that are comparable to those in Origins
  
• Amazingly high-quality music, considering it's the GBA
  
• Complete bestiary
  
• Extremely extensive all-new dungeons for both games, in which dozens of new enemies can be fought and dozens of new items can be acquired
  
• It's portable, if you care about that kind of thing.

So, yeah. Get both.

I think Dawn of souls wins. What really makes origins look good is the FMV's and theres other solutions to seeing them.

It can be said of any game that gets remade. Play the original first. Since FF: Origins is closest to the original NES games, go with that, after you have enjoyed them get DoS and play the game over with the newer features.

Me? I'm not getting DoS because I don't see the point in buying a game twice with such little difference. I prefer FF1's original style of magic and FF2's abusive system. Origins is my vote.
