About this project

It seems that Demi simply copied over the U.S. Final Fantasy ROM as well as Neo Demiforce's Final Fantasy II translated ROM into this one, and made a patch. It looks like it may have been copied over a little too well, as both games use the same location in RAM to save data. Meaning, saving in Final Fantasy II will erase your Final Fantasy save, and vice versa. It's not too big of a deal with savestates, but this really isn't something to enjoy on your copier, dig?

Another reason to not enjoy this translation: talking to anyone in Final Fantasy will freeze your game. You can try to get around it by simply not talking to anyone, but since you have to talk to Garland to defeat him, and you have to defeat Garland to have a bridge built to the larger continent, you can play... maybe an hour into Final Fantasy before you're not able to go any further, which makes it easy to classify this translation as Incomplete.

Final Fantasy II seems to have no problems at all, though it doesn't have the nifty intro that koitsu and BiGWeiRD added to the Neo Demiforce translation.

`  $$     This is a  translation for  the rereleased  combo ROM that had $$  '
  qb'     both  Final Fantasy 1 and 2 included.  It was for the Famicom, `qb
,d$b.     and it was  released in '94.  It had all this neat crap in it, ,d$b.

`  $$     I picked up a  copy when I was in Japan.  I saw it in this one $$  '
  qb'     store one day but it was like 5000 yen (50 bucks)!  So I asked `qb
,d$b.     Bill Fleming if  there was  enough  money left  over from  the ,d$b.
$$  '     Earthbound  Zero  fund to  help me out,  and  there was.  So I `  $$
`qb       went back and bought it once he'd sent me the money, then once   qb'
,d$b.     I was back  in the USA  I sent it  over to  Barkley to  get it ,d$b.
`  $$     it dumped  (a correctly dumped ROM  of this game didn't  exist $$  '

`qb       I immediately  started thinking  about a  translation  for it,   qb'

`  $$     play.  I contacted yoshi  about it,  and he was  pretty  eager $$  '
  qb'     to help.  We had this  whole thing where we  were gonna have a `qb
,d$b.     new intro,  even  better than  the one in  the FF2j  thing.  I ,d$b.
$$  '     made up some  prototype plans for the intro  and sent them off `  $$
`qb       to him.                                                          qb'

`  $$     I waited and waited  to a sign of progress,  but nothing came. $$  '
  qb'     Eventually  I emailed him asking what  the fuck was up, and he `qb
,d$b.     told me he was giving up console  programming because it takes ,d$b.
$$  '     away  from  the  nostalgia  for him.  I  disagreed;  the  only `  $$
`qb       direction one can go is forward,  but I respected his decision   qb'
,d$b.     and  realised  this translation may  never be  released.  So I ,d$b.

$$  '     (he said his brother had leukemia  but he spelled it all wrong `  $$
