The value story

Against its own genre it lands in the top 17 percent on value. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 72 percent. On the same math FINAL FANTASY IV ($17.99, scores 56) and FINAL FANTASY II ($11.99, scores 63) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say
I beat the hell out of this game to there and back when i was in college, but even by 1990s standards is just so bare bones and waste time like no other. Endlessly wondering to find maybe one or two quest to do with no real understanding of how to progress. I bought it for nostalgia reasons and just got bored and tired of 4 hours of no quest, even after opening up the world a little bit.

I spent 90 hours with this game, and it blows. After the opening, you will have to scrounge for things to do. You can't explore the world - you have to unlock fast travel destinations by having an NPC tell you about them. If you do manage to find a quest and complete it, your reward will be a small sum of money or a recruitable character. These characters hardly differ at all, with progression only existing in terms...
Thank God for the absolute angel who graced us with the 60 fps mod & an enhanced UI closer to the original SNES UI. I didn't touch this remaster for years because of the locked 30 and mobile UI. Mod works just fine on steam deck.
