/vr/ - Retro Games

I think it's a really solid game for what it is, and which has gotten a lot of unnecessary flak for being really easy, when the entire concept of the game was to be an easy entrylevel jarpig, and when it's actually pretty good at being exactly that.
I think the game is a bit of a victim of its own branding, with some people having certain expectations of it because it's named Final Fantasy, and also that as far as beginner jarpigs go, it would get supplanted by the Pokémon games, which in many ways are much stronger as products, and even as games (even if little of the music of at least the retro era games is anywhere near as good).

Beyond that, it has great graphics, sound, and music, and even haters usually admit to that, even if they shit on its gameplay. One of my favorite parts was the monster graphics, which were fun to look at, and I always thought it was cool that they showed damage, and I always viewed this as a point of superiority over most other RPGs.

I'm personally really fond of it for its visuals and music, so it still holds a pretty dear spot to me, and I think that this would still be a really good game for very young gamers, this game will teach a 6 year old a lot of videogame and RPG basics while being attractive to look at and listen to.

>still think it was dumb as fuck not to release V here
Agree. That one is still one of my favorite of the old 2D Final Fantasies.

Sick soundtrack makes it a 10/10 alone. Also I always liked that benjamin ignored the 2 girls at the end and went to chill with tristam, truly bros before hoes.

Pazuzu was the only really hard thing in the game for me and it was even worse when I played it as a kid and didn't understand his deflection shield mechanic. The ice golem can be a bitch if you're underleveled too.
