FF1 is great because of its classic, uncomplicated storyline. You're just a bunch of anonymous, storyless legendary heroes rescuing the princess and saving the world from evil with your mystic orbs. I don't recall a game in FF1's era having any more of a storyline than that anyway apart from some other RPGs but they didn't get as far as FF did.
The ones that did were entirely text based and the character development back then was nonexistant. You always started out as someone strong and fighterly (or magely) to begin with so there was no flaw to overcome, and therefore no real room to develop. :/
At least it's better than Dragon Quest.
There is no signature here. Move along.
I do occasionally play Final Fantasy I, but certainly not for it's story or the characters. I play it because I think it's fun to complete with different teams each time! That's the main reason why I play it.
I thought it was pretty GHETTO until you got the airship - Then things REALLY took off. And it was fun, Pretty good for being the FIRST game. It's just SIMPLE fun, Plain SIMPLE fun, and the story was cool when it all comes together at the end. Get the crystals, kill bad guy. Fun!
Try posting this thread in the FFX-2 forum.
edit: oh wait, you're banned. lol.
I'm enjoying It.
The only problem Is the lack of direction and the ammout of random battles.
The rest of It Is OK for a game made In 87.
I liked it *coughloveditcough*
Dungeon crawls are fun. I <3 Dungeon Siege and it had a really bad storyline, but was mostly battling.
FFII is better for dungeons IMO though.
And III is better for everything.
Then again, you could just play the best FF ever (IV)
FFI is cool. It's really simple, but fun at the same time. It's no FFVI but it's still fun. I personally miss the days where games were like this and weren't so...you know, FFVII-like (you know, where everything is really stylized and overblown and ridiculous, and everyone has some sort of crazy anime hair etc.).
No.
I thought it was alright. It was fun, addictive, and the difficulty was just right. Although I was a little dissapointed in the ending, but what do you expect.
FF1 > j00.
Seriously though, I didn't play FF in 1987 (wasn't born for another year actually), but I did play it before all these remakes came out. The original is 10x better than the remakes. The graphics just fit it better. You kind of expect it to be something more when it's all dolled up with Origins/DoS graphics and such.
Who says it doesn't have story? There's plenty of story. You save the world AND the princess AND the prince! Garland, the four fiends, Astos, etc, are awesome enemies, and have plenty of story for my tastes. Just cause there isn't some traitor and a corny love story doesn't make it story-less. Learn2read the dialog boxes maybe?
Once again though, the story and enemies and stuff really do simply fit better in the original game and graphic setting. Thinking of DoS/Origins really makes me wish they'd included the original as a bonus on those games.
Although how can you really say it doesn't have story until the end? The end is confusing as heck. @.@ I didn't understand what it meant at all the first time I read it.

I quite liked it. I wasn't into games when it originally came out, but I played the GBA remake and thought it was good fun. Much worse than the newer games though.
