The value story
June 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $7.19. Its cuts run 30 percent off as a rule. There have been 20 in the 5 years tracked, about 8 weeks apart.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 65 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including FINAL FANTASY III ($10.79, scores 87) and FINAL FANTASY VI ($10.79, scores 87).
On this data it would still be a BANGER at $18.11. It costs $7.19.
1 of the 698 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2021 to September 2026. In its first 30 days on sale, none of 112 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 82 percent of the 452 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.
At 15 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

A not so "final" fantasy As someone that never touched a FF game until now, I felt that it would be fair to start the journey from the beginning of the series (which is something I wish I had done with other series like Dark Souls). It is a privileged position to be, because not only you are experiencing everything in a similar way to the first original fans of the series, but you are also more capable of see the...
if you are looking for a fun rpg that allows you to "free" roam the world, I would grab a guide and enjoy this game to the fullest! I loved playing this game and fighting my way to save the world!
Overall, a good fun game especially given the era of games it was made in. The overhauled graphics and quality of life improvements that have been added in this port makes this a worthwhile game, especially if you want to start from where it all began for this series.
