Pretty sad to seed what happened with the game's development over time and must've been even MORE disappointing for people that were hyped for it at the time.
Any anons that were around for it's release and were excited for it wanna' share their thoughts?

Same on Chrono Trigger.
I think FF7 and Legend of Dragoon being my first RPGs spoiled me so much that I expect more out of characters and their interactions with each other than Saturday Morning Cartoon/Shounen-tier characters whose arcs conclude in less than an hour after they're introduced.
I don't mind the combat so much but fuck sake--sometimes you know the game just throws the enemy a bone so they can get their hit in even though you selected Attack first and I wish the ATB bar didn't pause every time an enemy attacks.

If I HAD to defend these "remastered" designs for FF1 specifically, it's to keep it close to the original NES designs without being too different from the original style like with the GBA and PSP designs. They don't look too bad in >>7916775 alone, but juxtaposed against the detailed backgrounds and zoomed out camera during battle it's extremely jarring.
