A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I played it on my phone which nowadays is the port of the pixel remaster. I loved it and I thought it was great! I definitely felt a little overpowered due to not fleeing at all. I would recommend checking it out, I got just under 28 hours of playtime on my first run.

Honestly while I still love the originals, the Pixel Remasters are the only way to go these days. They're just great. Faithful to the originals with enough polish and QoL updates to make them enjoyable.

I'd recommend to play FF2 next. It introduces character development! :)

FF3 is... okay. It introduces the character class system, which you'll see again in FF5, which is also okay.

FF4 and FF6 are the definitive pre-3d era Final Fantasy games, and should be on your must-play list.

It's unfortunate that the character development and stories in FF3 and FF5 are subpar, because their class systems are phenomenal. Vice versa for FF4 and FF6, which had great characters and stories but pretty boring character progression/customization IMO. It's like Square could only do one or the other, not both.
