Final Fantasy X for the NES?!?

By Spencer . October 20, 2005 . 10:44am

This has got to be the most complicated NES hack to date. A group of Japanese rom hackers recreated Final Fantasy X using the Final Fantasy 2j rom as a base. All of the graphics have been scaled down to 2D, but they still look impressive with the NES limited pallette. Cutscenes in the game have been reworked, not eliminated. For instance the underwater scene between Yuna and Tidus still exists. The battle system has been recreated too. Limit breaks were added along with button presses for Auron’s Bushido attacks. The magic system has been reworked from the ground up to include more spells as seen in FFX.

That would already be impressive as it is, but now imagine this. The entire sphere grid and the Blitzball mini game are also in the rom. It really is a 2D version of Final Fantasy X!

Check out the Japanese site see the screenshots and Casual Fantasy who brought this news to light.

Haku

No really, where did you download it? PLEASE ! I MUST KNOW!!....Hi

XXXX

fake or not, I don't care. It seems like a very fun game, (especially for those of us who have played FFX), and I would much appreciate it if someone would kindly e-mail me the program, or whatever the thing is, or give me a website where the download is possible.

Thanks,
XXXX

You know, you people didn't even consider this: They used FF2j as a starting point and wrote from there, not as a patch, but as a new program..

Bogart

I think this may just be a demo...

DRRRAA!!!

Its crap.

Soooo...you're making Gamecube software are ya? I fail to beleive that someone who can't even spell "around" or "august" can comprehend the required code to make a compilable file that will run in the Gamecube environment.

Also, I want to check this out, but apparently nobody knows where to get it. :\

chaoskaizer

unbelieveable damn funny

FinalfX

kazyest

can someone send this game to me please!!!!!!!my email address is tadmaster232@yahoo.com

omfg ur all dickheads!

omfg dnt u read seniuse's posts(the non 8-yr old) its a fake and i am a nes/gba/ps1 rom maker and the screen shots are so bloody fake they look almost as if they were taken from a camera when sum1 was playing the game if u want 2 play it on pc figure out how 2 get it from the actual ps2 disc and onto a pc and make a program 2 run it atleast then u will have all the files and stuff 2 run it all u gotta do is make a program 2 run the files

Hmm

@omfg ur all dickheads!:
u are the dickhead and u seem u don't know anything .

@ some1 who said u can't spell right:
dude programing doesn't need 100% english speaker .>_>;

omg omg omg

omg omg omg u r teh retardzzz it iz sooooo fake u retards omg omg omg

lolz0rz rofflecopter.

Non beleivers

The report never said anything about it being a true nes rom, just nes game look alike, to seniuse, man calm down its like you're over reacting just because you nes programming manhood is being challenged by a simple post. I'm sure they probably did develop on a pc platform base, with a lot of time and commitment i'll bet they could pull it off, if you look at this

as for the screenshots well i got a 404 they were probably development screens designed as test shots to get a feel of what they want to accomplish. What a bunch of flamers, you got nothing else better to do then to unzip your pants and hang out your fing nes cartridge out to see who has the bigger bit rom. Just enjoy for what it is.

It's real! I managed to download it off Limewire! It's REALLY COOL!

FinalFantasyFan

What did u type in to find it on Limewire? I want to download it too!

Michael

I really, REALLY want to play this! I have LimeWire, but it's not working. Would someone PLEASE email me the ROM? I would really appreciate it. My email is tigermer@hotmail.com

Waruteru

I can read enough Nihongo to get by, and from all the captions, I can recognise all the scenes, and as a fan, I beleive this is a must-have. Unfortunately, Square seems to have been the wet blanket and killed the site. This looks like the work of a genius.

If anyone can send it to me the ROM in an attachment, to Craigster1215@aim.com , I would be greatly obliged.

K Thx.

watchthedecline

Um. The game is real. I downloaded it unwittingly along time ago, not knowing about the buzz of it. I wasn't sure what to make of it since I don't read japanese. I somehow lost it now that I want to play it. I read it was a product of a group of japanese students. It's lame that Square effectively killed it because it is not hurting them in any way and is basically a novelty. Anyway, why make a big gay argument about it naysayers. Be open-minded. I played it on a straight NES rom, no patch or anything. If someone has it please send it to me. watchthedecline@yahoo.com

FinalFantasyFan

Send it to me too! "man_ofmystery@hotmail.com"

ouendanation
