Final Fantasy I is a lovely game. It's not really all that complex, in fact, most of the story is just very standard "heroes must go on a journey and restore order" but it works because the game very much centers around the idea of it being YOUR journey. It's very charming. The dungeons are simple and effective. The progression feels natural. The towns and NPCs add enough charm to make the world feel alive. Also, the music is stellar and adds a lot to the world. The combat and customization is also pretty neat; not overly complicated, but still fun... FF1 just does a great job of being short, sweet, and to the point. Nothing overstays it's welcome, and while it's not the best game ever, it holds up really well as an entry for this legendary franchise.

I liked this remaster a lot. The rearranged music is very beautiful, and the pixel graphics look sweet. I also got the Platinum during this run and it was cool. It's pretty dang easy to get, although the RNG with spawning monsters (needed to 100% the Bestiary) was being kind of a bitch to me... made the run like 2 hours longer than it needed to be, but the rest of the trophies were so easy I can't really complain. Overall, this is just a timeless game and I can easily revisit it :)
