Just beat the first FF via this version. Very enjoyable. As spartan as it gets, but I mean that in the best possible way. There's no mucking around in this game: you ask around locales for information, you find the sources of their troubles, you slay it, you progress. All killer, no filler. There's a few frustrating moments of backtracking and wandering all over the world map for an obscure MacGuffin to help you progress, but it didn't hinder my overall enjoyment. It's easy to see how this blew so many minds back in the day and set the course for an entire series and genre.
