These 2 games are great if you like older rpg.  I have the PS one games and my grandson has the Nindendo DS versions.  The games have good stories and characters.  The enemies are tough at times.  It is your classic menu battle system and requires time to level up characters.  Very enjoyable.  Would highly recommend you try these is you like the older games.  All the Final Fantasy series games are great, in my opinion, until you get to the PS 2, when I feel they start to lose some of the enjoyment and quality.
