/vr/ - Retro Games

Quite frankly, I only ever played the very first NES game, around the time of its release (1991), and never bothered with the stuff that followed. Ditto with Dragon Warrior. Actually I played DW after FF, even though DW came out first. But anyway, none of that matters and I didn't know any better or care about it back then, because there wasn't all this insane noise everywhere about these franchices. In my experience, they were great fun, although there were some parts that kinda dragged on (having to fight random encounters to level up so you don't get your ass kicked by some boss or whatever).

Anyway, just ignore all the noise, and play the very first FF game (either on NES, or the GameBoy version), and if you enjoyed it, you can think about where to go from there. I can see how having these huge franchises would seem intimidating; at least I didn't have to deal with that. Ignorance is bliss... Don't fret all this crap, and just pretend the later games and stuff don't even exist.

Maybe one of these days I'll finally play FF2 and DW2... Then again I might get into Phantasy Star, or even Ultima instead.
