As the first two games in the series that essentially created the JRPG genre, these are interesting to check out as a novelty, but unfortunately not much more than that. It's understandably very archaic compared to modern entries, and if you're a fan of that style of game then you'll definitely get a lot more out of these. More often than not, though, the constant necessity to grind and the lack of clear guidance on many objectives proved to be more frustrating than fun, especially in II. I did enjoy the presentational aspects like spritework and music (partially the reason I wanted to play this version over mobile/Switch) and there are rare highlights, but otherwise I wouldn't recommend these entries unless you're seriously adamant about seeing everything the series' history has to offer.
