I've never played a Final Fantasy game. The most experience I've had with one was the first half hour of Final Fantasy 9 and watching a Let's Play of a Final Fantasy 6 hack. Let's fix that!
I'll be playing the first Final Fantasy on PSP, since that seems to be the best version available to me. If there's a better one, it's already too late.
Of course, this is a Square Enix game. I haven't played much from them. A quick glance at my library tells me that I have Sleeping Dogs, a pretty good GTA clone; Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime, a fun action-adventure; and Deus Ex: Human Revolution, a game where you sneak around as a cyborg. So my experiences with Square Enix have all been positive thus far.
The intro video first has a crystal just sitting there, then cuts to a man in purple armor confronting a big red dragon.
The dragon is pretty quick to resort to violence, blowing a fireball at the purple man. The purple man was ready for this, though; he just cuts through it.
The dragon is not happy about this development. The purple man runs at he roaring dragon, and then...
The main menu. It's just the title and a bluewoman man with what appears to be a flying lizard pet. I like the minimalism. So, I jump into New Game. After telling it I prefer English, I am presented with my first challenge: character creation!
I have to pick both classes and names. Since I've never played before, I'll be going with the default classes. The names, on the other hand...
I go for lowest common denominator mass market appeal that doesn't really make sense.
On to the intro!
