This was the very first Final Fantasy I'd played, the one that got me hooked!

I absolutely love the Final Fantasy series, and this game is to blame! True, it did have its flaws here and there, but overall it was amazing! The leveling up system is a bit odd compared to other FFs, but it doesn't make the game any worse than the others. The plot is just SOOOO good, there is an excellent dose of action, there is also a hint of a romantic comedy (but not too much, so don't be worried my fellow males) and there is also just plain funny-ness. The main character is an arrogant bandit (it should have been the young black mage), who plans to capture the heir to the throne but things don't really go quite as planed (sounds boring, but trust me the story is really good). As for the gameplay, kind of like any other solid RPG, so don't be worried about that. Overall its an awesome game in my opinion, and I recommend it!
