Game Description:
Final Fantasy is a role playing game for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Hack Description:
After two months of development, Roebloz comes out with a new banger and (hopefully) better balanced than his recent Sonic and Metroid hacks with his own Final Fantasy,
FF: Age of WarMECH. (Or FF: AoW for short) The hack follows the story of four friends
that barely escaped the destruction of their hometown Blozville from the deadly robot known as WarMECH. (Who was the infamous superboss of Final Fantasy 1) The hack features a lot of familiar enemies and the same 6 classes Final Fantasy 1 fans are all used to, albeit with new weapons, new spells, new items and a brand new world+story to go through. The four LIGHT WARRIORS will have to fight powerful bosses to bring back peace to the world of Ejarah, and end the Age of Terror that WarMECH is bringing.
The...Age of WarMECH? Eh? If you are a fan of the original Final Fantasy and you want
a story based around the infamous enemy sprinkled in with hilarious moments, this hack
is for you!

Fear of getting into a new game without readily-available info on the new enemies and
such? No fear, as Roebloz thought of everything, and was kind enough to include a manual with info on all the enemies, bosses and new stuff there is to find in Age of WarMECH, so you won't have to wait years to get a GameFAQs guide about this, you can just dive right in!

And before you go ahead and play this, let this beautifully-written prelude inform you.

"Once upon a time, the distant land of Ejarah lived in peace,
its grassy lands flourishing with nature and life.
All the five towns were at peace; Blozville, Woodland, Aethlune,
Sebusok, Grassfront, and Blitz City.

One night, during the annual festival of Blozville,
4 friends are instead playing around the woods.
But as the festival commences, a terrifying robot lands in the middle of the village,
and as the 4 friends were about to head back in, they see their hometown get obliterated.

A bunch of soldiers from Woodland quickly arrive to try and defeat the robot,
but they soon find themselves to be helpless, as they were not the ones chosen by fate...
Fate, has chosen the 4 friends as its LIGHT WARRIORS to fight against the robotic threat.

Its name? WarMECH.
And thus, as the 4 LIGHT WARRIORS set out, begins a new age...
The Age of WarMECH."

Update 1.1 and 1.2a: Fixed the Gym participating in human trafficking and not selling BUFF, and then fixed BUFF targeting the enemies instead.

Update 1.2b: Added some bonus wallpapers, both a modern FF-style logo and an Earthbound intro-styled wallpaper. (Were meant to be added much earlier)

Update 1.3: Rebalanced a lot of early and lategame enemies, (Mainly the ones in the Temple of Death and the Volcano) fixed incorrect CUBE placement, as well as the grey carpets in the Underwater Temple.
