I'm always fascinated by fan made games where it's clear that the person/people behind it are very passionate about a series. Thanks for sharing, I'll have to check it out
Whoa! How is this even possible?? And how has this guy been working on this project for over 4 years and Square hasn't sued him?!?! Incredible.
Well, if it's free, it's much harder to sue.
@@chriskoschik391they banned a game called Crimson Echoes and that was free. This is only matter of time they take actions.
@@chriskoschik391 Not really, it's just harder to win. But big companies don't sue fans expecting to win, they count on the fan realizing they can't afford to fight the suit to the end.
Maybe because it's been under the radar.
I know I've never heard of it until about a month ago, so it's entirely possible it's slipped Squares notice till now
@@chriskoschik391Money doesn't need to be involved. I guess you must've missed Nintendo's reputation for shutting down fan projects with a cease and desist.
This feels like one of those things you'd dream of as a kid, thinking about playing through the original FF with classes from later games. It's so cool to see that as a reality!
This is an amazing game glad to see it get more recognition. I ran DRK/Trainer/Bard/Geomancer last year. :)
Same setup but trade the drk for thief. I love my early loot and not worrying about gp
3:04 Apparently the bard also hid his profile from the screen as well. Typical bard.
Just wanted to add it works great on the steam deck as well, so you can play this in bed or on the go if you have one.
I initially played it on my laptop for two weeks because it was too good to put down long enough to figure out how to get in working on the Steam Deck. Now that I have it on the Steam Deck I won't go back! It's great!
Man, crazy that I found this channel, we are like doppelgangers of each other, my name is also David, I am about the same age as you, I also love old school RPGs, especially of the final fantasy variety, I am definitely going to check this out, thanks!
Welcome aboard! Super cool!
Wow, this seems incredible for a fan-made RPG. Maybe Square & other big game companies should start hiring people like this.
Why do people keep saying "they should hire him" everytime something like this comes out?
They won't. Not only are they not legally able to solict jobs from fans, but it's very clear Japanese companies do not respect fan-games, mods, hacks or any of that scene. They think of them exclusively as thieves and people breaking the law by stealing their IP, and more than that, they feel that their own handpicked teams within the industry are more than sufficient. Official companies will NEVER hire fans. I don't know how many years have to go by before people start to get this. Square-Enix has no respect for projects like this and have even less respect for the people who make this. They're not going to hire them. In fact, the guy who made this should count himself lucky they didn't sue him.
Nah, Squeenix is too busy writing ominous letters about how profitable AI and NFTs are while milking Final Fantasy VII
@@thenightstar8312 While I understand your frustration, agree with what you're saying as a general rule of thumb, and could extend this to count towards most big companies regardless of origin, I can also point out you're technically wrong in the more specific. Sonic Mania was a fan project that got the team hired on by Sega. And, many of the creators in the industry do respect the fan communities even if they have no control over what the corporate side of things chooses to do. No matter what the laws may say, corporations aren't people, but the individual people in the companies still are people, and sometimes they do get a say that translates to hiring on fans (I mean, if hiring fans was literally illegal like you infer, the companies would just die as the original creators do... plenty of people involved in making modern Final Fantasy weren't even born when the first one came out).
But, yeah, no, I really do NOT want the creator of Final Fantasy Renaissance to be hired by SquareEnix. I have much more interest in seeing what he does as an indie dev working on his own original projects going forward. His interest in retro video gaming would be wasted on the modern AAA landscape. He's already shown he can blow Final Fantasy 1's Pixel Remaster out of the water.
First time in my life, I played FF 1 last week as the pixel remaster and loved it! Omg!
FF1 and Dragon Warrior 4 were my first RPGs ever (played both around the same time with my father), as in I learned to read playing these when I was about 5 or 6 with my Dad. FF1 is my favorite in the series for this, and I am stoked to give this a try as I love how they brought in most of the FF14 jobs into the game. (Come on Gunbreaker and Viper!)
An immunity to damage floors would be a massive boon in the Volcano for sure. 'The party has drowned', heh.
Always good to see successful fan projects. Thanks for sharing, David
That looks sweet as hell! I especially like that, going by appearances, they kept the spell charge system. Every version of FF1 with an MP system is stupidly easy.
I'm playing through this for the 3rd time and it's amazing. I'm in the same boat, I was turning 10 in 1990 and have played this since it came out andso many times with so many parties over the years. I played all the remakes and they were generally too easy due to the changes and I always just wanted a bug fixed version, but to get one with new jobs.......I'd have never dared to hope for something like that.
Just an FYI, while talking about the bard, your vid showed the red mage info. No biggie!
My buddy has been playing this and he told me each character has special abilities if you make them your main avatar. For example, the thief can locate secret hidden treasure chests in towns and dungeons by walking over certain squares. I think the dark knight (batman) can eat special bats in certain dungeons to boost his power.
David, do you remember in the mid 2000s, some fans worked on Chrono Resurrection and got a long ways into it before Square sent them a cease and desist letter?
Thank you for sharing! Final Fantasy is a comfort game for me just like Dragon Quest, Super Mario RPG and Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure. I´ll try this, looks promising.
I’ve only played the FF origins and Pixel Remaster version of I. This looks amazing for someone like myself who wants that classic NES charm with some modern changes
I wonder if anyone can revive aside from white wizard still. One of the most annoying things is getting hit with an instant death attack, then having to scramble out of the dungeon to get a revive in the nearest town, or having to finish the dungeon with 3 or 2 members. It would be nice to have more options for dealing with that without having to have a white mage only.
Red Wizard was always able to cast Life
Red Wizard can cast life as well.
It’s definitely my favorite way to play the original final fantasy. It’s amazing how much effort went into this project and it shows. It’s a fantastic version.
This is interesting and it's my first time hearing about it, although I'm on the fence with including the Blue Mage in my party if I play this after seeing this video, as you pointed out that he basically only casts variations of fire and ice spells. I'm thinking I'll go Dark Knight, Thief (for his new abilities), one of the magi, and Bard if I end up playing this. Also, I was around the same age when FF came out. In 1990 I would have been turning 9 at some point that year. Dragon Warrior was my first RPG but I loved FF just as much.
Bro came up on my recommended, has the sickest shirt, and makes a video thoroughly explaining a new way to play FF I didn't know about? Easiest sub of my life.
Thanks so much!!
@@davidvinc That shirt is definitely one of the sickest I’ve seen
This looks so cool, i love how they revamped job system. I will definitely have to check this out.
You should, you’ll love it!
When I heard of it, it was what I was doing for the next week! First team was Dark Knight, Green Mage, Time Mage, and Caller, and the Time Mage was just ridiculously fun XD
I found out about this over the summer. And I loved it. Now that I've seen some of these achievements and bestiary entries. I think I i should play it some more.
Also there's two summons per spell level! The Evoker was in my first party and loved the class.
Nice! I only got to elfland with my experimental party, which included the evoker. I beat the game with my main party though. Super fun game!!
@@davidvinc I think what happened is that the summons you missed were in dungeons, while you only led with the Evoker in towns.
Summoner actually gets *two* summons per spell level, they're just kinda hard to find sometimes.
Okay, I thought there was some accidental gaslighting there.
Never really paid attention to distribution by location in my playthrough (or I did but have forgotten it, since it was my first run nearly a year ago), but given that "finding the dimensional rifts in towns" was mentioned in this video, I guess that means there's one town and one dungeon rift per spell level, and Davidvinc's run just never had the Evoker in the lead during dungeon exploration?
Dark Knight David??? I totally figured you'd be a monk in honor of muscle-daddy Sabin
If I saw correctly there are even hidden items in town and it just seems like a passion project that really understands what made the OG game special.
Ok, this looks absolutely amazing. Being an almost life long fan of the FF franchise (I'm 40, played the original game on the NES), I need to play this. Thank you for bringing this to my attention 🙂
I have put so much time in this. I had to back up saves to make additional parties and the new jobs are excellent. I expected them to be half baked but they're really good. I'm looking forward to see what additional jobs he adds in future releases.
fan mods of old games are in such a great place right now. FF 1-6, GBA pokemons, and way more.
Yeah it’s a great time to be alive!
I'm currently playing with a Trainer, Monk, Dancer, and Summoner. 😊
Found out about this just over a week ago and have been having a blast. It's amazing!
So the one thing you did not talk about that had me curious, the job advancement quest/bahamut's rat tail quest.
How do the new jobs factor in there? do they all have advanced versions now? Lancer = drg? Blue mage = blue wizard?
They all do!
The Evoker is able to get 2 summon spells per each line, besides that great review, I made 4 saves to try every configuration, when you beat the game, there is a New Game +
I've been working on all Mage party. Blue Mage, Red Mage, Summoner, and Time Mage. Been having a blast but it's expensive, everyone's pretty squishy, and my healing a bit limited / reliant on heal pots.
Same. Fell in love with this game in 4th grade😅
Been hoping for a review on this game! tysm! Cant wait to try it now
1:30 thanks for bringing this up- I tried downloading without going to discord and it just sat frozen on the loading screen for twenty minutes before I eventually gave up. I’ll try this!
No problem at all!
Even when installed properly it does take a good while to load (one might think something is wrong). However, I gather this is just how Unity works (the entire game has to load up front). Now, it doesn't take more than a minute or two, but it took long enough for me to wonder if I did something wrong. Also, it's possible the first load does take even longer (although I don't remember for sure).
This is absolutely aweaome. Cannot wait to dig into it. Thanks, Dave.
Hope you enjoy it!
Ive been playing this for quite a bit already. My last party was warrior thief blue mage dancer
Super fun. Ive already beat it a few times. I think 3 total. With different classes for all each time. I still havenet done a new game plus though and I need to check that out. They really did a good job.
this is such a good remake, i still like ludmeister's remix the best but this is a close 2nd!
The person that made this is definitely a fan of FFXI. Very cool
Thanks for covering this David! It looks like a lot of fun!
You know what we need next though... Top 10 Job Classes in Final Fantasy Renaissance! :D
Just discovered your channel. Watched a few videos. Subbing. Good stuff. Looks like we are around the same age, so have the same history with FF games.
Welcome aboard!
There are actually two summons per level, except for the highest levels I think. Like you get the level 1 summons in Corneria and Temple of Fiends
sirsystemerror has a complete run-down on the new classes and spell-lists.
Looks interesting. However before i play it I want to finish going through the Pixel Remasters and try out a few more parties in one or more of the official versions. (While I love FF1, I've only played through it a few times.)
Thank you for sharing this! Would have never known this was around.
No problem!
Did the game really offer an achievement for drowning? That's kind of wild and amazing.
And a bit disturbing lol
You mentioned there were some bugfixes, but didn't mention what kind of bugfixes in the video. I'd just like to know if the Intelligence stat and running away actually works like it was supposed to in this game now.
Yes and Lock and Crits and I forget all what all else off the top of my head at the moment, basically everything that was bugged in the original, works as originally intended, enemies have different classes and related weaknesses to weapons.
Wow!!! I'm super stoked to try this!!!
It's so good!
Me coming to watch fun Final Fantasy gameplay 🎉
Me staring at the biceps 😮
It remind me the recent fan remake of Dragon Quest 1+. It's really good. 😁
Great video David! I've heard a little but about this but after seeing this explained, it definitely looks like I'll be playing this! Will see if I can add it to my steam deck. I love the addition of new jobs here too. Looks great!
Yeah it’s a ton of fun!!
I love this! Thank you for letting us know about the game 👍🏽
Of course!!
At 3:13 or thereabouts you talk about the Bard but show the Red Mage. Was this a whoops?
I love this game. Geomancer is my favourite class, such a refreshing concept for magic and all original spells.
Good morning, Daddy. I hope you have an amazing 2024 ❤
Thank you and same to you!!
So cool. Thanks David!
2 summons per level ! Great video man ❤
Yes! Thank you!
No bard card at the bottom of that portion.
Well, this is the coolest FF1 related thing since the Randomizer. Here's to hoping some of the features of the randomizer can be implemented in this.
This game looks great! I'll probably give it a go this weekend!
I’ve already played it like 4 times with every new class. Big fan!!
Didn’t know about the game speed up option thanks!
1:15 could you explain this, I cannot find it on steam and the official website has no info about steam. If your just talking about adding it to steam as a non-steam game that's different then adding it to your steam account as you suggest.
Non-Steam game can be downloaded free from their Discord channel
Well damn, this is kinda insane. Thanks for sharing! Definitely trying this out.
Renaissance is pretty great. Made with ❤.
This is so cool! Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
It was interesting to see a new rendition of the game, but I think I just like the simplicity of the original, so the pixel version is better for me. Glad to check this video out though and see what people can do to progress the game 😅.
Ah, but the pixel remaster got rid of the peninsula of power and seemed to change the power balance all around. This new FF Renaissance can be played in classic mode and is far superior to the pixel remaster in my opinion.
What would be the best party to play for this game? Also, is this available for emulators on Android phones? I'd love to play this.
That really depends on what you're trying to do. What is your normal play-style? My favorite original group was Fighter, Red Mage, Black Mage, and White Mage. While there are more options now, it would be easier to list the bad ones if there are any.
Thanks for this David!
My pleasure!
I’m gonna need to know where you got that Final Fantasy tank brother
Do the new jobs have upgrades, via bahamut?
Yes.
You should do more reviews of hacks and mods; it's great and an endless source of new content!
I like the idea of additional job classes for FF1, but I have no nostalgia for NES-level graphics. If I could get that in a version with graphics on par with the pixel remaster or better yet the PSP anniversary edition, I might try it.
You should do a tour on all your games it really looks awesome
I've done a game room tour in the past :)
Oh man thanks ima check it out also I love your vids and your vibe

Grat video! Question. What edition is the sealed one on the left?
It warms my heart to know the Bard isn't as spoony in this game.
They should make it multi player and continually add to the story line.
Now that would be awsome.
What’s more culturally significant, the renaissance or the Final Fantasy renaissance?
You're welcome David! ♥️
I highly recommend it... even if I was softlocked while trying to use houses to save my game outside the Marsh Cave, and during my second/ Take 2 playthrough, I was unable to get Shiva, even though my playthrough clearly showed defeating her once, but had to start over because my party died. I think it was mostly because I kind of sequence-broke the game, though I think such a thing was meant to be exploited through a certain job. My second team consisted of a black mage (Vivi), lancer (Kain), evoker (Yuna), and time mage (Mog (/And yes, I know Mog is more of a dancer, but I didn't know of a character who had time mage powers when I started my second/Take 2 playthrough.)) I streamed most of my experience online.
How evokers and time mages were implemented was interesting, since time mages were made during the ATB system, and well... FFR is a turn-based system. The devs had to restructure the class to make it viable in this game. And time mages are perhaps the most broken class, if a player chooses their cards right.
Just say it's the FFXIII-2 Mog.
Instant Download!
How did you add this to your Steam library?!!! I NEED IT!
How does one play this game? The Final Fantasy renaissance website points at the Final Fantasy Discord and the people on the final fantasy discord don't have any advice.
Greets David! I just want to ask its not a window all the light is coming from right?
Where did you get that shirt? It’s awesome!
Thanks David for bringing this awesome game to my attention!
7:15 Dang, that sucks. White Wind is a blue magic staple too. Should have been in the game.
Yeah, in it's current state I do feel like Blue Mage is the class that misses out on iconic features the most. Still awesome beyond that, but it is a sore point.
Is this able to be put on a NES cart, or is like other NES titles that only work on emulators?
I feel like I could take on the entire game with a party consisting of 4 shredded Davids wearing Final Fantasy tanks.
If my king likes it then it has to be good!!
Wow! That is epic! This really looks like something I would say, "Shut up and take my money!" to. ❤
Best part is it's free
This looks awesome! Also, I must add- Seeing bravely default 2 and star ocean 2 posters in the back side by side are a trip, I’m currently playing those two right now. Does anyone know if the dlc for tales of arise is good? I’m almost finished the base game now. This is the first time I’ve seen this channel so apologies if there’s already a video here talking about that one. I’ll check for it
Would you say this one is better than Final Fantasy Ultra: Champion Edition? :P
lady gaga was right: a renaissance is coming !
Bro where did you get your shirt!?!?!? I need one!
so do you still pick and lock into the classes at the start of the game or can you change classes during the game?
They kept that part the same, you pick 4 in the beginning and are "stuck" with them.
My bro is all about those gains and NES games 💪
