Japanese text viewing program).
This FAQ is for anyone who has the recently released version of Final
Fantasy I for the Sony Playstation, and needs to know what the heck all the
names of items, magic, characters, or monsters are. I assume you already
know the game, so there are very few actual strategies in this FAQ. There
are already a few at Gamefaqs already made, so view one of those if you need
direction on where to go.
The newest updates will always be at Gamefaqs.
In pretty much all of the lists, the order of what things are in will
be: Japanese Kana that appears onscreen/romanized version/my
translation/name in the US version of FF1 on the NES, if it is different.
Enjoy!
