What real reviews say

★★★★ Not bad when on sale Had to play this since I bought the I & II HD remake on Steam and I’m loving it. They definitely added some QOL to the remake. This was a bit of a linear let down and a short one at that. I’m glad my first dive into RPGs as a kid was the original Final Fantasy on my own NES. This was good, fun, but

★★★★ Classic! Clearly the "pilot" game that gave rise to the series... Kinda basic/short in comparison to II and III, but an excellent game that set the stage for future greatness (and in 1986, it was pretty great back then)!

★★ Save and Sync Issues The gameplay is great, if it was intended to mimic the NES original, which I played many times as a kid. My two big problems with the game are as follows: (1) You cannot sync to your other Apple devices - I played for a couple of days on my phone, loved it, and wanted to play on a bigger screen usin
