Final Fantasy 1 offers a very simple D&D style of premise and gameplay. You head out on a quest with a party of characters that will grow stronger with every battle in order to restore the world from darkness and evil by liberating the four elements of Air, Water, Earth and Fire.

Looking back at the time of release, it was a simple and straightforward, dungeon crawling style of story and gameplay. The game in general is simple enough from beginning to end for anyone to try out and play at their own leisure with reasonable difficulty.

The GBA/PSP ports are the definitive versions to play, as the original NES version was riddled with bugs and dysfunctional features. This is the first title of a big franchise with some of the best turn based RPGs out there.
