FINAL FANTASY

The original Final Fantasy is still a blast. It’s simple, cozy and kind of addictive when you get into it. The option to use the boosts also make it a much more relaxed experience which is a nice bonus. The music still holds up to this day, especially two of my favourite tracks —Sunkern Shrine is super chill and atmospheric, whilst Chaos Shrine still feels appropriately epic. If you’re into, or want to get into, classic RPGs, then this one’s an easy win.

This game is like a warm blanket. Side note, Spend some FF7 Remake levels of cash to remake the first six games in Amano's actual art style. People would buy that!

Final Fantasy I is the definition of a true classic. Its gameplay mechanics have naturally aged over the years, and the story lacks the depth and complexity found in more modern RPGs, but it's fascinating to see where one of gaming's most iconic franchises began. Despite its age, the game remains an enjoyable and historically important experience.

The bestiary is the only part that can be somewhat time-consuming, as a handful of enemies have notoriously low encounter rates. Even so, the completion process is fairly quick and straightforward compared to many other JRPGs.
