Final Fantasy is a role playing game for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

This mod brings you a fresh, tougher Final Fantasy with greater depth and tactics. There are numerous creative deviations and system overhauls, though care has been taken to ensure the game still "feels like FF".

Along with the game you will find a comprehensive guide and maps valuable to any new adventurer. Think of them as your replacement for the original paper charts which came with the NES cartridge back in the day.
