Final Fantasy I and II began the Final Fantasy franchise. These games set a standard which other games would be remembered, with Final Fantasy I bringing in red mages, black mages, and many other types of classes. And Final Fantasy II brang the idea into final fantasy of characters being able to choose their own stengths and any character potentially being able to be a mage, any character able to be a fighter or healer. You have a range of abilites from being able to use magic, healing, to banishing opponents to another dimension.
Background
(needs to be ported to the wiki!)
The GBA conversion of the first two games in the Final Fantasy series, both originally released on the Nintendo Famicom system (NES in America). Final Fantasy I casts you in the role of four nameless heroes on an adventure to find and return crystals of light. In addition to the ability to save anywhere and some gameplay changes, Square Enix also included a new dungeon called "Soul of Chaos." Within this dungeon rest four "Chaos Spirits," along with some powerful items that didn't appear in the original and some well-known bosses from Final Fantasy lore. FFII features Maria, Guy, Leonheart and Frioniel, who attempt to protect the world from a massive empire. Square Enix included new gameplay elements as well as a story update in the form of a new chapter called "Soul of Re-Birth." This chapter features new events, monsters and items.
