Bought Origins and started 1 the other day. Currently heading towards Marsh Cave or whatever it's called. My party is: Red Mage, Fighter, White Mage, Thief. Reckon that's any good? I'm finding it OK, though I wish I'd gone Fighter, Thief, White Mage, Black Mage, as the Red Mage is gonna end up kinda lacking, methinks.

Anyway, this game rules. I'm loving the 16-bit redo they did, and am especially chuffed with the ship sliding puzzle minigame. Luckily, I rule at these things and have started off pretty loaded. I'm surprised at how much everything costs though. That's insane.

Anyway, what were your first impressions when you played this game? What was your first party? What is your favourite party? Have you played both the original and the Origins version? What do you think of the redo? Am I missing anything by not playing the original?

Enjoy.

PS. FF9 was my first ever FF, so I'm pretty much soiling myself with joy over all the references I'm picking up. xD
