When I first played Final Fantasy 1, I thought it was junk (still do) I had played Dragon Warrior 1 and 2 by that time and FF1 just didn't compare. FF4 blew my mind and 6 just made me glad to ever play rpg's all together. The fact that the story didn't just focus on one character is what made the game for me. And the fact that Game guides weren't a huge thing to have back in the day made it more challanging and the story more suprising and fun. The music still gives me chills, and I can still remember every characters name, history and abilities. It's definitly my second favorite game ever.
