well the gba version is better right?

The GBA has better dialouge, has extra dungeons, and is easier. I prefer it, but they're both good.

Origins is nearer the original FF1 experience. Fifty levels, very little castable items, set stat gains etc. In all honesty it's a more pure form compared to DoS, which by the end of the game turns your fighters into the only decent characters and your mages redundant due to the huge amount of items with high-power spells attached to them. If you're looking for an easy ride then FF1 on GBA is the way to go.

FF2 on the other hand is really almost identical in it's GBA incarnation as it is to it's NES or PSX version. The main difference is it comes with the new dungeon after the end of the "first quest". It also fixes a few bugs such as the infamous select+cancel bug.

I guess if you want a "real" FF1 experience, get Origins. If you want an extended FF2 one, get DoS. Of course I have both versions so I have a choice in the matter.

Select+cancel? What's that do?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that FFI DoS uses an MP based system rather than the "You can only cast X many level Y spells per days."

Well... Origins is more nifty despite the lack of dungeons...

the GBA version is quite easy and while the enemies and bosses were beefed up, going through the extra dungeons will make even Chaos die in a few shots (1200 every attack and 20000 HP, that's like 5 turns!)

I never played Origins, but FF I&II DoS is very enjoyable

I am thoroughly enjoying Dawn of Souls. I recommned you get it, although I have never played Origins (I don't think).

EDIT: Just noticed you got it. Wise choice.

If you want to truly appreciate FF

oS, you need to play the NES version. If you don't shudder when someone mentions "buying 99 heal potions" you simply are not a hardcore FF fan.
