By the way, weren't you in diapers when Goldeneye 64 was released ?
I have to play a game on it's release date to enjoy it? Also, if we're going to debate whether Goldeneye was awesome or not I'm outta here. xD
EDIT: Also, that doesn't undermine anything else I say really. You can stick to your guns and say the game wasn't good, but it doesn't mean comments about early stories being well-done, without ridiculous levels of expansion on every topic, isn't valid.
EDITGA: I also think we're disregarding how much later Final Fantasies took from the Original. You can take an aspect of basically each game and relate it to one of the first three. I don't know how anyone can say it doesn't matter. If it doesn't then we may as well regard the newest game in every series to be the best Age of Empires III must be better than Age of Empires II, Halo 3, better than Halo 1, etc. etc.
btw. just for reference.
FFI "orbs" -> FFIV, FFIX "crystals"
FFIII Job System -> FFV, FFX-2, FFXI Job System
FFI "Prelude", "Victory" -> (basically all the others) Prelude, Victory
Hell, the Prelude and Victory from FFI is just proof how good the game's soundtrack was, they finally replaced the songs in FFXIII and look how happy we are with that game.
