First time playing it on the NES. ARCHAIC but still enjoyable if you like retro JRPGs.

Which versions of FF1 have you played? They made like nine fuckin versions.

I have been eyeballing the PSP version for a long time but the font is repulsive.

Nice, I played FF6 on GBA myself, every time I go to play a FF game it's like "which of the 70 ports do I play" lol. You prefer GBA FF1 I trust?

Yes but I'm enjoying the original too it's charming.

Truly archaic, but it's also impressive to see what they were able to pull off in later games considering what they were working with.

Holds a special place in my heart, except for when it's time to buy potions (you have to buy them individually)
