Funny enough, I've actually been inspired to sit down and play NES version as well.

My Party:

Bowie - Warrior: Named after David Bowie, I plan on making him a Red Mage soon, since David Bowie never liked being type cast.

Freddy - Monk: Named after Freddie Mercury, he gets one of my fave classes

Joan - White Mage: Named after Joan Jett, I should make her a black mage but I desperately need a white mage...

Plant = Black Mage: Named after Robert Plant, he gets to be a black mage since he's fascinated in the dark arts...

I just left Ur. My first impression of the NES game, is "Wow" this game is pretty gorgeous, even for an NES title. You can really tell Square pushed the console to the limits when they made this thing. I mean I just finished an NES playthrough of FFI and I feel like I've jumped into the 16-bit era with this title.
