There are only two real drawbacks to FFI:

-It takes so f'ing long to level up.
-The magic system...not being able to hold more than three spells of a certain level, and only being able to use said level a finite number of times. Suckness.

Other than that, yes, I too am retarded with nostalgia. I remember getting Final Fantasy for Christmas in 1990, and I played it endlessly until I beat it, which only took me a month and five days (gawd, it's been 14 years and I still remember that! I'm pathetic!). Funny thing is, I beat it again for the PS1 last year, and I was just as excited and squealy about it then as I was when I was ten.

Nothing like a good classic to get the blood flowing. Ahhh. I loves me some reissues. Dragon Warrior I-III on Game Boy, FF1 on PS, Shadowgate and Deja Vu on Game Boy...all I need is a reissue of The Uninvited on ANYTHING and I can die a happy woman.
