Suddenly, Square wants to remaster all the first 6 mainline games in the franchise and release it under the name "Pixel Remaster". I, who really wanted to play the older games, was quite happy with the announcement.
In this case, this review is about the first game of the 6. Final Fantasy was the game that literally brought Square out of bankruptcy, so I had a lot of expectations.
In this game, the plot is very simple. 4 Warriors of Light unite to end the darkness of the world they live in, caused by the 4 elemental demons and their commander. For this, the group needs to rescue the powers of the 4 elemental crystals to prevent the world from falling into darkness.
It's one of the simplest RPGs I've ever played, really. We can attack, use spells, items, defend and run away while in battle. We have a cool level up system, and lots of stats to level up.
However, a criticism of the game, its difficulty is... strange. The whole game is pretty easy, but when you get to the final boss... my god, the difficulty SUDDENLY goes up a lot. I had to grind to lvl 60 and use a specific build.
With all that in mind, Final Fantasy manages to be a fun game to try out, and this version (Pixel Remaster) looks like the best one, in my opinion (I'm not really into the PSP version). It's a GREAT game to introduce yourself to the franchise in general, given that each Final Fantasy has something different about its experience. A simple but fun game.
