(the GBA version btw)

It has the perfect amount of story, with absolutely no weeby character drama that I can't stand in 99% of JRPGs. Plus the music is fantastic. Just good old fashioned grinding and dungeons and items and exploring. Love it

You would probably like many if not all of the SMT games.

It was average, a little short, but I agree with you about the grinding and stuff

Two lines is the perfect amount?

Maybe it's just been a while but I remember it being suoer thin.

Like:

"Hey guys who appeared out of nowhere, save my daughter."
"Nooooo why u kill me."
"Hey guys btw go collect come crystals."
"The dragons are dying."
"We collected the crystals."
"Ha ha ha I will send myself back and forth in time forever."
"Nooooo why u kill me again."
AND THEN THE WARRIORS DISSOLVED THE END

I was a n00b when I was a little kid, because I didn't really know you had to grind, and I was always frustrated that I could never beat Garland. =/

Pretty much. I love how simple and straightforward it is. Don't forget the 4 fiends tho

The ending is still a causal-loop disaster.

It was a good enough game. Definitely better than 2. It's just that FF is a pretty consistently quality series.

It's supposed to be. It's supposed to make sense only in a circular way, where the harder you think about it, the less sense it makes.

But oddly, there may be a basis for this in general relativity. The Novikov Self-consistency principle (which in fairness is only one theory) simply states that causality through a CTC (or a "time loop") only needs to be self-consistent. It's a pretty good read on Wikipedia, tbh.

But that's kind of a side point, as it's more likely Square just thought it was clever to make their time travel story a headscratcher instead of doing research on general relativity.

I prefer FF3 for "classic" jrpg gameplay. It's like FF1 except you can change classes and occasionally get guests.

Also the best FF1 party (NES version) is Fi/Fi/RM/WM imo. GBA version makes the thief a lot more viable but not enough to bridge the gap compared to Fighters, although the 2nd temper/haste is kinda nice.

Yeah if I ever do another playthrough, I would definitely choose a different party. I have the Origins version for PS1 and went with Fighter/Thief/White Mage/Black Mage. The limited casts ruined the Black Mage and didn't do the White Mage a lot of favors. The Thief was ok not great until he learned Haste or Quick or whatever it was (which is super OP but didn't really make him a good character overall).

I think I might try for more white casts by swapping out the Black Mage for a Red or another White and swap out the Thief for something else--maybe try Monk.

You might like the Etrian Odyssey games. I don't really recall a lot of dramatic story telling, just great dungeon crawling goodness.
