Classic Final Fantasy Hacks
The classic Final Fantasy on NES provides fond memories for some, and frustrations for other. Often times, the amount of grinding it takes to proceed is a major turn-off to some players. Others are turned off by the dated graphics. So, to address both of these roadblocks - here are some nifty tools that will crack open this classic.

Hacks and patches

This page contains just a few patches that can be applied to the Final Fantasy ROM to update the game in various ways. My favorites here are “Final Fantasy Plus” which follows the original game but with updated graphics, enemies, items, and skill/gameplay. Also, is “Final Fantasy World of Chaos” which uses the original engine but gives the players a whole new world and storyline to explore. These patches can be applied using any IPS patching tool.
Check out the screenshots for both.
