Final Fantasy on the Wonderswan Color

Sure, we've all played Final Fantasy on the GBA, PSP, Playstation et cetera... but did you know it was first remade on the Wonderswan color?

This is cool. It's the first time I've looked up the WonderSwan but I always hear about it when conversations of FF come up.

[@WingedAsarath]

This was a really interesting video! I was recently able to pick up the WSC version of FF with both original box and cart, and while I'll be keeping it safe in my display cabinet, its really neat to see footage of it!

[@Wobble2007]

I much prefer the soundtrack of FF on the WSC than the SNES, PSP, PS versions, the chiptune audio has aged beautifly and is much more harmonic, chiptune music is to audio what scanlines are to sprites graphics, it just brings out that perfect classic feel, there are some great-orchestrated GST's, which is great for modern games, but for the classics, I say stick to the beautiful chip tune music, it's one of the reason the OG Game Boy version of Tetris remains the best to date. It's for this reason I love the Mega Drive and Amiga, that FM synth has aged so much better than PCM sampled music on the SNES, if I could combine the SNES colour pallet, with the Neo-Geo sprite resolution and the Sega Mega Drives FM & PSG combination audio hardware, I would have the perfect 16-Bit console. If only Final Fantasy was released on the Mega Drive with FM synths music, maybe one day someone can make this happen, or release an SNES MSU-1 update of FF 1/2/3/4 with FM Synth or at least HQ PCM recordings of OPL3 synth soundtracks.

I'm getting the Final Fantasy edition of the WSC. Do you know if the English translation is complete? Romhacking says it's unfinished, but I don't know if that's the case or not since the translation has no reviews.
Edit: I mean story and shops mostly.

[@riskybitness]

If you look at the footage I captured for this video, you can see that it is like 99% complete. The shops are translated enough that you can buy the correct items without confusion. The menu is not translated at all, but I was able to navigate the menus by trial and error enough to complete the game.

[@Emberson-9000]

​@@riskybitness Perfect! Needed to know since I ended up buying a Wonderswan Color, and I was considering finding a repro cart.
