July 2025

Underwhelming "remaster" Still love the game. Really like Squall and his character development over the course of the game. The same goes for the rest of the supporting characters. 3x speed and autosave is the two big things it has over the other PC port.

June 2025

You'll either love it, replaying it 10 times in your life, still learning new things and becoming a core memory of you childhood (or adulthood if you missed the boat due to Age Diff); or you'll hate it, where its still very playable and enjoyable, in the sense that theres so much to talk about why you dislike it. Its one of those kinds of games where even if you dont like it, you can still finish it and understand why other people like it.

June 2025

My first Final fantasy, and still my favourite. I used the game breaking exploit of card mod at the beginning, which was a bit of work but allowed me to breeze through battles and enjoy the story uninterrupted. A great choice for anyone who enjoys the basic FF formula and doesn't mind mixing it up with levelling, as this game is unique from the others. Enjoy not grinding!

Jan. 2025

Spent 15 hours drawing. Remembered I was doing it wrong. Drawing Meltdown for 15 more hours. Squall’s still emo, Seifer’s still a tool, and Triple Triad is still the true endgame. 10/10 would awkwardly flirt with a sorceress at a ballroom dance again.

Aug. 2024

I didn't really know or expect much jumping into this game. Classic high-school romance, right? Maybe. It was hard to get my head around the ancient game design and menus. But there was something refreshing about that. I didn't know it was going to be a 50+hr experience, but it never felt like a drag. The characters felt real, And I learned something valuable from each of them. I learned a lot from this game, It made me reflect. I would recommend it to anyone.
