“Aaaah, Final Fantasy. What a classic. Listen, I love FF1 to death, but it's hard to recommend if you don't know exactly what you're getting into: a tough, old school grindy JRPG. The story is very light, almost…”

“FINAL FANTASY is the quintessential jrpg of jrpgs. Took me 17.7 hours to get through it with 100% achievements using a game controller. Difficulty is easy up until the very end, where it then becomes hard. I don't know…”

“Final Fantasy I, the beginning of the franchise. Even the battle theme still stuck in my head until now. It's enjoyable and nostalgic, but some content is missing from Dawn of Souls. But also, this is masterpiece…”

“Less the rare obtuse backtracking, it's a mostly easy but fun adventure from start to end. Talk to all the NPCs, make note of named characters, and you should know where to go. The mana systems's a bit weird, so pack a…”

“Oh I really want to recommend this.... but I cannot in good conscience do that. I'll start with the biggest issue with this and all other pixel remasters. The Gameboy versions were far superior. For some, it wasn't as…”

“Honestly, despite it being a pretty meh game by modern standards, I had a lot of fun playing it anyways, its definitely very charming, and makes me more than happy to try the other 5 pixel remasters. Def glad there's a…”

“The game that started it all. Not a difficult title, and not too long, but don't expect the same kind of sweeping storylines as established in later titles. This one cuts the expository banter and drops you straight…”

“Final Fantasy is straightforward, but fun. It's a very old game and it does feel old. The story is almost non-existent but the RPG gameplay is still satisfying. Sometimes it can be confusing as to what to do next, but…”

“I've only played the later Final Fantasy games and wanted to run through where it began. The pixel remaster is beautiful with simple, but effective combat. There are some moments where vague instructions on where to go…”

“The one that started it all! Classic game that holds up pretty well, but man, how did people figure out where they were supposed to go back in the day? I spent so long wandering the map aimlessly.”

“The original masterpiece in its second worst form since the original NES release. Screen tearing, less content than any other rerelease, and content controls that only make the game easier, instead of letting you modify…”

“the original was an essential childhood memory. quite grateful to relive it, with all the lessons since. seriously, don't play 2 fighters, 1 black belt, and 1 black mage. my seven year old self thought it was great, but…”

“I really only recommend this if you're a diehard Final Fantasy fan or really really liked Stranger of Paradise and want to know what happens next. Still a fun game until you spend two hours trying to get the Warmech to…”
