“The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, 'You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.” - George Carlin
Played ~15 hours February 2024 on PS5 (Owned digitally; PS4 Pixel Remaster edition).
First, if you're going to play this, do yourself a favor and get the Pixel remaster version. It will be significantly less grindy using the boosts (2x is fair and won't feel overpowered).
Which brings us right into the biggest issue with this game: taking a "practice makes perfect" approach, there are no traditional levels where you get XP after each fight and so much XP gives you a level and therefore stat boosts. Instead, gain skill levels with weapons and magic (you get more hit rolls with higher levels) by using them. Gain max HP / MP by getting to critical levels of either. Gain defense by getting attacked. And so on. Any character can be anything you want, use any weapon and any spell. There's literally no restriction.
Unlike the first game, your party have names and stories all their own, and you have a revolving door for the 4th party member (which often makes them a little harder to use as they may not have skills that fit in with your gaps). In a wild twist for Final Fantasy, you're on a quest for crystals. Cliches aside, the story is pretty good here.
Getting 100% / platinum trophy here is mostly a matter of watching out for missable items/enemies, but also not really essential to enjoy the game.
As final fantasy games go, there are better ones, but if you're a fan, it's worth checking it out. If you're looking to get into classic JRPGs, definitely don't start with this one.
