I'm going on a holiday soon, with a few plane trips and bus rides to endure. I want to buy a good, absorbing game which will keep me occupied for a long time.
If the new GBA FF cart worth buying? It's an early final fantasy game, so I'm not sure how it'll turn out. Is it playable for long periods of time? I'm used mainly to the later FF's, so I'm not sure if it's similar in anything but name.

From what I read in reviews, there are two remade (updated visual, audio, some gameplay conviences) RPGs packed into one cart. Also, I hear that they still retain there age with there old-school gameplay (i.e. they're hard somewhat because they play different then games these days). I don't have the game myself, but I think if you need an RPG for the GBA and are willing to take something difficult, I think this game is a sound buy.
There's always Golden Sun and it's sequel. I have the first one and I thought it was a nice, solid, by-the-numbers RPG.

Oh, Golden Sun rocks. Alas, my saved, completed game was wiped by a snotnosed little sister, so I've got to play again, and I want something a little original. So the sequal, I'd rather play with my save characters from GS1.

I'd like a comparison between FF1+2 GBA and FF1+2 PS1

I hear reviews say that if you have Origins, Dawn of Souls isn't much of anything new. Sorry if I can't provide anything detailed.

Ok. I have both Final Fantasy Origins and Dawn of Souls and there's some things that you need to know. Final Fantasy 1 on Origins has a difficulty selection between normal and easy. On Dawn of Souls, it seems to be perminantly set on easy. My characters are close to the first crystal and I have to run away from every battle cause there's no point in fighting the game's so easy. Final Fantasy 2 seems to have the same problem. Also, there seems to be less customization all around.

Indeed. GBA version is insanely easier. Costs have been cut all around on spells and items, monsters are easier, leveling is easier (I think). The thing they're hyping is the 'extra stuff' contained in the GBA version, but really, it's just a few extra pointless bosses at the end of FF1, and a bit of story continuation for FF2. If you have Origins already, Dawn of Souls is rather worthless.
As for a good absorbing game, I'd recommend... I don't know what I'd recommend. There's really not that much good on the GBA, now or ever. Latest RPG's have been Kingdom Hearts and Mario and Luigi, both are good, but get old fast and aren't really fantastic in their own rights. If you live in Europe, pick up Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap.

FF 1&2 is good, however FF1 it has a higher random encounter rate than the original NES version, which gets tiresome after a while.
I agree about the difficulty, it's too easy. You can level-up a ton as soon as you get the boat at Crescent Lake, and after that you'll breeze through the rest of the game. Of course you can create a more challenging party (all White Mages) to balance the difficulty a little.
And IIRC FF1&2 is really cheap, so it's worth picking up if you have even a marginal interest in the Final Fantasy series.

Bullshit (often bowdlerized to BS), also Bullcrap, is a common English expletive. It can also be shortened to just "Bull".
Most commonly, it describes incorrect, misleading, false language and statements. Literally, it describes the feces of a bull. As with many expletives, it can be used as an interjection (or in many other parts of speech) and can carry a wide variety of meanings.
Bullshitting is usually when one makes statements that are false, or made-up. Usually people describe other people's action of making a lot of statements as bullshitting in arguments, when one is making up rules or making examples that are not anything to do with what they are discussing or when one is making statements by using examples that need different rules to be applied, so this person is bullshitting
As it contains the word "shit", the term is sometimes considered foul language, hence the use of the euphemistic abbreviations "bull" and "BS". Nonetheless, the term is prevalent in American English and, as with many words, the term is used in a variety of countries, some dating back to approximately the same era World War I. In British English, bollocks is a comparable expletive, although bullshit is now a commonly used expletive in British English also.
