Congratulations! Haven’t played FF 1 in years, but I still think about it.
Here is an OLD 8-bit comic “based” on the story and characters from that game. Always makes me smile.

Lol I love it!
I love that 8-bit theater is still up
Nice! FFIV will always be my favorite, but 1 is an absolute classic.
Same on both counts, ff4 had an incredible atmosphere and story (even if they did have too much “no-ones ever really gone…”).
Playing ff5 now, it’s good, but, and I hate saying this, but the fixed classes gave them more character, rydia is awesome because she’s rydia and she nukes people while Cecil is awesome because he protects rydia while she nukes people.
But mechanically ff5 is probably better otherwise. Lot of room to experiment.
The first is great for what it accomplished, but wait until you get to the ones with actually substantial and enjoyable narratives.
How was it? When I played the original on Wii’s virtual shop a while back, the pixel remake wasn’t out yet. I thought it was really hard, but a lot of fun.
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.
I’m surprised you started from 1
It’ll definitely make playing the later games more enjoyable though
I almost started at 6 but I was really craving an old school RPG and I felt like this was the place to go! I beat Chrono Trigger earlier this year as well, it’s been great but my phone’s battery has not loved me.
It’s not a bad one to start from, though OP did the right thing playing a modern version of it. I played through the original NES version, never again.
It’s absolutely bonkers that the first game in the series, on the NES, had you kill the main villain at the beginning of the game due to time travel.
I played 1 a few months ago (100%ed the Pixel Remaster) and was surprised how good it was. It’s obviously rudimentary but that’s not a really a problem because it’s a short game.
I always find it to be one of the easiest to revisit. I’ve played it on NES, GBA, PSP and more recently the Pixel Remaster. It’s just a solid game all around, even if it is basic by most standards.
If you liked the gameplay of 1, I highly recommend 3 and 5. They more or less build off of what 1 establishes with its class system, all the while giving you more mechanics to play with, and more ways to customize your characters.
You know, when I played FF1 I had already played several of the later SNES games. And in a way the simplicity was refreshing.
I still remember going into this town and all the NPCs are saying “there are pirates” and “I don’t like pirates”. Then there’s a pirate who says “we’re the pirates!”. And that’s it, simple as can be, there are pirates and you beat them. No long narratives, no grand schemes, just beat the pirates. Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from the grand arc kind of stories.
I played this one at launch on the NES and it’s been one of my favourites ever since. Definitely not the best in the franchise but holds a special place in my heart.
my first was just… sic… 30+ years ago
Awesome!
Congrats! I wasn’t able to beat it until it came out for the GBA. Still one of my favorites, though I think Legend and IV are my all time favs. To date, they’re still the only ones I’ve finished too.
My dad and I played the absolute balls off of this game on the NES when I was a kid. Playing FF1 with my father is one of my favorite gaming memories.
We made it to nearly the finish, but never completed it.
Not bad considering we didn’t have the game’s manual, a strategy guide, or the internet.
