Our path through the Earth Cave was blocked off after the Vampire miniboss fight, but the chest he was guarding has a key item needed to clear a passage to where we get the Rod to break open the plate behind the vampire. So once more unto the breach we go, into the depths of the Earth Cave wherein lies the first of the Four Fiends of the Elements!
This hack essentially does to FF1 on the NES that Final Fantasy 4 Ultima did to FF4, bringing you a fresh, tougher Final Fantasy with greater depth and tactics. There are numerous creative deviations and system overhauls, though care has been taken to ensure the game still “feels like FF”.
Along with the game you will find a comprehensive guide and maps valuable to any new adventurer. Think of them as your replacement for the original paper charts which came with the NES cartridge back in the day.
