One of these days, I'm going to play all the games in order. It'll be interesting to see how the FF series evolved over the years
Is it any good?

this game was very fun. I played it after seeing games like X and IX and still i liked it even with its bad graphics.
I think it's definitely worth a playthough. The plot isn't great but the game actually is fairly well constructed. There is a point in the game where you can't proceed through a dungeon without a certain artifact. However, that artifact cannot be retrieved until that dungeon is at least partially traveled. It adds depth to a game that lacks it. I'd definitely play it once.
Tacticalshadow0, graphics do not make a good game at all. They could've made FFVIII with FFI graphics, and it would still be my favourite game.

preety good reviews i guess and im fan of final fantasy so i guess ill have to buy the one that started it all 
I bet it'd take about a year to do, maybe longer
I agree with almost everyone else, the graphics are simple but that's what makes it so good, the story isn't complicated either which is also good but makes replay value is next to nothing unless you go like a year without playing it
most deffinately worth a play-through though

I just started playing the game yesterday and i don't think it is too bad. Sure the graphics are bad but that is understandable. I just think it's cool to see how the first FF was and all the magic and how the music after you win a battle hasn't changed after all these years.

Having said that, given a choice between FFVIII with 8 bit graphics and FFVIII as it actually is, if they both already existed and money were no issue, you would choose the latter.

It was great for its time. The graphics weren't great, but compared to Dragon Warrior, they were like the Mona Lisa. Also, unlike Dragon Warrior, and most 8 bit RPGs, FF had a storyline. Not a great one, or a complex one, but it still had one. The worst part is the fact that it takes forever to get enough money to get one crummy sword.
But hey, at least you get an airship.

That is what I'm doing right now. I'm only on one but i think it would be really cool to go through all of the games in order and see how they got better as the years go by.

Final Fantasy 1 is the best Classic FF.

this is the best game that square enix was able toi put out to start the series it is a lot better than the ffii but that isnt saying much
No, FF I is NOT better than FF II, in fact, it's not even close, but it also offers a neat look into the basic fundamentals of the series that has helped it remain popular for so long. Buy Dawn of Souls if you can, it's an excellent combo.
Erm, that's debatable... The Next Generation is a perfectly fine starting point in my opinion.

thing only bad thing about this game is that the only half challenging enemy in it is the final boss, Chaos and he was easy. I think II is better just because it has a good story line. The non-leveling thing in II sucks though.

Well yeah its going to be bad compared to those games because it was made like 15 years before that. I still think it was a good game because thwy had nothing to work off of. The magic looks decent and the characters aren't bad. Its a decent game and a great game for its time.
