It has certainly aged, and it has a few annoying mechanics that wouldn't be very acceptable today;
for example, you cannot buy items in stock (and this makes buying 99 Heal potions very annoying),...

Overall, I consider it to be one of the best games in the series.

However, that said, it also has a few irritating flaws that I think should be corrected in future remasters or remakes.

One of...

I don't really remember Locke showing any specific interest in Celes.

There is a pretty big difference between being interested in someone, and trying to save and protect someone;
Locke felt that...

I guess that is it.
Of course, it doesn't really matter from a pure gameplay perspective;
I just felt it was slightly awkward how the Knight was limited in a lot of ways like that, but I almost...

I sometimes pick these names for Fighter, White Mage and Black Mage:

Fighter - Dan
White Mage - Elia
Black Mage - Owen

These names work pretty well to me;
for some reason they "sound" like...

Personally I think that they should fix the available white magic spells for Knight;
it looks very strange when he cannot completely fill the LV3 spells, and cannot use any LV4 spells at all,...

Yuna actually gives a very different impression in the Japanese version of FF10;

That game has monsters such as goblins, wolves, ghosts, dragons, ogres, and things of that...

"Throw".

The Skeans/Edges can be brutal, especially if you boost Shadow's "Mag. Pwr" stat a bit, and give him Earrings, etc.
I remember using those things a lot on the Floating Continent, and...

Some of the changes in the original American translation appear to have actually in some sense made the game harder;
most notably the removal of several of the characters' attacks.
For example, the...

"Final Fantasy" on the Famicom
(I have been learning Japanese for several years, and video games are fun reading practice material).

I have had a bit of a Solo Challenge project lately - where...

At least the Ninja upgrade gets a full set of LV1-LV4 magic spells.

I always disliked the arbitrary spell list of the Knight;
like, seriously, he can learn ALIT and AFIR, but not AICE or AMUT?...

When you start trying to make detailed tree diagrams of the Synth combinations, so that you can plan ahead and make damn sure that you buy the very first starting materials in enough quantities.
