I always felt the lack of set characters made FF1 the best game in the world. And that's just how it is. In fact, any game that has a voiceless main character, like chrono trigger or suikoden, is a great game. While games that have a main character are iffy.

If the main character is all angsty... well.. I don't want to play him, I want to slap him.

And FFMQ is terrible. It's nothing like FF1 at all. Here's how things go:

#1 Game: FF1
Worst Game ever: FFMQ (good musci though)
