Hell on earth if you don't look at the tutorial. I'm serious, look at it. I know it's slow, I know it's boring, the game even lampshades that with one of the skills.

Other than that, one of the best FFs in terms of story and music, and a top notch turn-based strategy game. Like most job system FFs it can be easily broken but that's not a big deal.

FFT is pretty hard to get into, since its so fuckin slow and that early fight with the archers can be bullshit. Its just that grinding takes fucking forever.

I think they're more like Otyugh, another DnD monster. FFI had Ochus but not Malboros.
>"Ochu" comes from Dungeons & Dragons; specifically, it is the otyugh. The name in Japanese (and transliterations) comes from the pronunciation; it is pronounced with a short O and T (practically to a ch), making the pronunciation close to "o-chuugh". "オチュー" is the closest the katakana system can get to representing the sound without using compound katakana pronunciations not natively found in Japanese.
