Dunno, I always thought that part was fun. I can see how people would think it's not though.

So I must ask if it was up to you Dr. Unne, (or anyone) would you have lowered the price of equipment in Elftown or would you keep the prices that high?
Silver sword is overpowered for that part of the game anyways. You don't actually need to buy it. There are sensible alternatives at less than 1/4 the price. I think it's nice to have the option of getting it early and I think it's good that you have to work for it if you want it. Same with level 4 magic. You don't actually need any of it before going into the Marsh Cave.

[qq=Tabris]As the graphics (at least today) isn't impressive, you need something else to make the game interesting.[/qq]

I think the FF1 remakes look amazing, personally. There is no real replacement for well-drawn sprites.

[qq=Tabris]I personally believe the storyline is the weakest one in any FF I've played (I've always read that FF-I is the only FF that doesn't even have a storyline!). So it's interesting to hear someone who actually love it.[/qq]

It doesn't really have a story, nope. The scraps it does have (elemental crystals, saving the world etc.) have been reused in nearly every FF afterwards though.

There is something to be said for leaving things open-ended. Personally I have all kinds of stories I've imagined in the FF1 world over the years. The game feels more "mine" than any other game, possibly for this reason. You see what you want to see rather than what the game developers give you. Would we have 8-bit Theater if FF1 had a real, defined storyline?
