I set myself a challenge to beat every Final Fantasy (mainline and some spin offs) in order. Final Fantasy I had an amazing story, the game stayed true to its original (mostly), nice updated graphics, some nice quality of life upgrades (auto battle, diagonal walking ect.), really good soundtrack.

However the game does fall into the trap of being repetitive at times, its not very clear on telling you where to go next (I had to use a guide), and depending on the difficulty you are looking for you may consider this game too easy, as you steamroll most enemies you come across, and the final boss is massive difficulty curve as he is much harder to beat then all other enemies by far (except warmech).

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this game and I think if you want to see where the beloved series started, definitely play Final Fantasy I.
