Every saga has a beginning...

Square Enix is taking RPG fans back to their roots. Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls contains remakes of the first two Final Fantasy adventures, and tosses in a bestiary so you can go over the stats of creatures you've already encountered.

If you've already played these seminal RPGs already, and the pure nostalgic joy of replaying them doesn't whet your appetite, the extra features--spruced up visuals and audio, new monsters and dungeons, and the ability to save anywhere--should.

Sure, some elements are evidence of a nascent genre in the throes of infancy--magic is purchased in shops and the simplistic leveling up system automatically improves your abilities depending on how you fare in fights--but at the time this stuff was the best in pixilated sword and sorcery, and it still holds up magically.
