The first Final Fantasy! I've been playing the PSP version off an on but rarely got very far in it - I played the original with a friend decades ago (we had fun making a bunch of different names based off our friends) but no idea how far we got. But then Square decided to remake 1-6 in a new pixel style and I decided to leap in from the start!
So from the get go - this game, despite the many cool additions over the years, IS OLD! The story is barebones even by low standards, there are lots of glaring gameplay oddities we'll get to, the pacing is off... but damn it is a solid game
The job selection process and getting to choose the names is very cool and adds replay
Story is barebones and then gets needlessly VERY confusing at the end for... some reason? To call you the hero I guess/to justify replaying with a new party.
