Hmm, you're right. Well, at least you still get to fight a lot of special bosses and hear their great special boss theme (Battle Scene 2 on NES, Battle Scene A on other versions). Getting the Masamune is also great.

I have alot of respect for anyone that completes the original NES FF's.

I recently completed Dawn of Souls (still need to try Rebirth) and just beat FFII about a half hour ago. It was really fun, but I'm sure alot of the experience has been lost in the port. One day I'll have to beat the roms to see what it was really all about back then.

I don't know about experience being lost in the porting. I've beat both the NES version and the GBA version, and I definitely prefer the GBA version. Go ahead and play the Souls of Rebirth extra quest. Just remember, it's extremely challenging.

I got the GBA version.

I was wondering, was Ricard known as Ricard Highwind in the original NES one, or did they add in his surname in the port?

Sephiroth1999AD · 10-17-2006, 09:14 PM

I somehow remember the name Richard Highwind in the NES version. The boy was called Kain only in the DoS version, though.

Evastio · 10-18-2006, 02:22 AM

It didn't mention the name Highwind at all in the NES Version.

Sephiroth1999AD · 10-18-2006, 04:47 PM

It didn't? Oh, okay. SE must have added the names Kain and Highwind only to the remake versions to have a reference to FFIV's Kain Highwind.
