Anyone playing/played Final Fantasy Origins?

Thanks to the price drop I finally picked this up for some old-school FF lovin'. I just played through FF 1 but I'm missing a few creatures for my 100% and was wondering if someone could help me figure out which ones are missing.

The first is after Kraken in the list.

Well, that's all I know right now since I'm at work and don't have the game in front of me.

P.S. I couldn't believe how much harder FF1 was compared to the newer FF's. No Hi-Potions, limited number of spell uses, Cottage doesn't even heal all your HP, fallen party members have to be revived back in town before you get the Life spell (for a cost at that), and an insane random encounter rate. I can't believe I beat this game way back when I was just a lad.

Did it drop to $19.99? I will have to pick it up then! I never could beat FF 1 on the NES when I was a kid. I got really close once and then the save game messed up.

Own. Played. Enjoyed.

I leveled up way, way too much in Final Fantasy II. In the final battle I killed the Emperor in one hit.

btw Don't get 100% enemies. It's really not worth it.

This was the thread that mentioned the price drops...can't verify that this was the price that was paid for my copy since this was a gift.

But I've GOT to. My OCD won't let me move on to FF2 until I see that 100%.

Well, I can't seem to confirm an Origins price drop on any of the following..
Pricegrabber.com
Bestbuy.com
Amazon.com
Circuitcity.com

Some of these sites don't even list the game. Guess I'll pop into BB tonight and have a look see just to make sure!

FF Anthology and FF Chronicles both dropped in price. Origins however, has not yet dropped below the $29.99 mark. Probably because it was the last of the three to come out. I'm sure it will drop eventually.

Hey, I was the OP of the thread mentioned - it was priced at $19 and tagged with the Greatest Hits label at videogamedeals.com, which is where I got the info, but the price has since been raised and I don't think it actually is a GH as of yet.

Sorry for any confusion

I got FF Origins when it came out the first time. The remixed music is quite nice .

Which monster you looking for? Did you mean Kraken or the one after Kraken, or both Kraken's?

Kraken 1 is in the sea shrine and Kraken 2 is in the temple of fiends (revisited)

I'm missing a monster after the 1st Kraken. I'm also missing about two more monsters near the end, but I'll have to check the list when I get home. Although I'm sure the last one is
Spoiler:
Chaos

For those keeping score at home...I'm missing the monster after the 1st Kraken, the monster after the purple worm near the end, and the aforementioned last one.

If anyone knows which one these are...I'd appreciate any help.
