Final Fantasy (MSXII) (12.89)
Despite being well aware of the first Final Fantasy since its debut in America, until recently I had no clue that it was ported to the MSXII in Japan. Watching footage of it on YouTube is trip. Despite the loading and horrible scrolling which plagued personal computers at the time, the music is fantastic and some of the sprites are near 16-bit quality. The spacious packaging features more artwork and a far more detailed and gloomy preview of the story.

For ages, people have passed down the legend of the light.
The light resides within 4 crystals controlling Earth, Fire, Ice and Wind, which allow the world to be peacefully protected. Additionally, at the time that the crystals lost the light, the 4 warriors of light were to appear...
Just how long ago was the world enveloped by the light, allowing peace? (Now) everything was hidden away by a thick, deep darkness.
People were aware that this terrible happening was the work of some great evil, but there was not a single person who could stand up against it.
All they could do was pray that God would bring on the appearance of the 4 Warriors of Life.
Finally, in the city of Corneria, according to the ancient legend, 4 warriors possessing the crystals appeared.
So then, proceed! Legendary Warriors! Now, the fight has just begun.
