What did he mean by this?
Introduce a friend of mine who loves FF12+ but hasn't played the older games to FF1 NES

Jacob Torres
He's kind of right. It's fine as a game but it's definitely "yep this was before there was much to it"
Jose Rivera
>What did he mean by this?
He isn't a boomer or an autist so he doesn't like shitty retro games. Deal with it, faggot.
David Hall
FF1 is great but I can understand underages don't liking it, vanilla NES game is pretty rough in the edges
Parker Myers
Baaed
Henry Turner
he meant that the game was old, slow, and boring. Which ff1 is
Wyatt Flores
He should play the randomizer mods instead. Pretty novel but popular twist to the original game with QoL changes too
Nathan Hernandez
How could retro games even recover?
Nicholas Reed
How am I a Boomer? I was only four months old when FF1 was first released in Japan.
Henry Anderson
FUCKING BASED
Brayden Taylor
WTF? You are so old I feel terrified. Please go away pedo.
Justin Barnes
FF2 is more fun than 1, prove me wrong.

Adrian Lee
of all the FF games you could have told our friend to play, why on earth would you have shown them 1?
Cameron Reyes

Alexander Carter
To be fair, probably to show him where it all started.
But if you really wanted to try and get him into the series, 6 or 7 would be better. You could try and get past the "slow" part by maxing the ATB speed in those, force him to think fast.
Ayden Howard
>slow
FF1 isn't slow, you can beat the whole game in like 6 hours. I think I did, on my first playthrough.
And then I got to 2 and got bored, so I'm probably not one to talk.
Adrian Jenkins
What's wrong with FF1...? People were utterly blown away by the game when it first came out.
Josiah Miller
Oh shit I just realized Overlords design was based off of classic final fantasy
Xavier Murphy
There's nothing wrong with it, but as you said. When it came out. There's nothing special about it now, nothing that other games (in its own series, even) don't do better.
Josiah Butler
Times change. I personally love the game, but when I started showing turn based games to my wife, I never in a million years would have shown her FF1, she would have never played a turn based game again. It's incredibly slow and boring by the standard of modern RPG's.
Asher Cooper
yeah I bet they were, just like people were blown away thousands of years ago when the wheel was invented
Julian James
Menu simulators aren’t fun. Your friend just has standards, unlike yourself.
Eli Brown
why do redditors like this character and astolfo so much?
Ian Hill
I love JRPGs, go fuck yourself.
Evan Garcia
5, 6, 7, 9, 10 are all resonable starting points (especially if he liked 12). showing them FF1 as a starting point will just guarantee they won't be going back to try out any of the retro game because they will think they are all boring.
Matthew Russell
In a lot of ways, FF9 is more retro than FF1, though.
Leo Clark
>all these wannabe boomers shitting on the game they supposedly played but haven't tried the Randomizer Races
Zoom zoom zoom
Dylan Wood
randomizers are a zoomer thing though
John Reyes
You didn't at least show him the psp version?
Jordan Robinson

Fuck you casual
Lucas Sullivan

HOW COULD HE
Ryder Watson
FF1 NES is complete buggy shit mechanics-wise. I mean, targeting an enemy who dies before your attack makes you miss? Ridiculous, and probably not even a bug
Matthew Bell
He means that the game is old, slow, and boring, you shit for brains.
Colton Moore
It was standard fare at the time. Not sure if redirected attacks would have been complicated to program, or if it was considered to add to the need for strategy.
