Began Final Fantasy. I tried playing it about a year ago and got frustrated with it, but upon coming back to it, I found it to be an enjoyable experience to play it, and compare with later installments. I like the fact that the player can choose which character classes to have in the party. While the party I created is (I feel) balanced with a fighter, black belt, red mage, and white mage, I like to have the option of making a party of four fighters. It took me a while to catch on to some details of the battle system, like the fact that the player characters don't automatically attack the next enemy after one is killed. I haven't encountered a clear storyline, but it doesn't detract from the gameplay so far. I find a good deal of enjoyment in just wandering around battling enemies. The battle system doesn't seem as antiquated as it might, leaving me to appreciate the game very much. So far the enemies seem more like the Tolkienesque type found in American RPGs. The rate of random encounters feels right. I don't feel like I'm constantly being interrupted by attacks, and when I want to fight, it's not like I have to walk around forever. The lack of a world map, or clear direction as to what I'm doing adds a certain element of mystery that I find appealing, as I sometimes grow weary of linear RPGs. Hopefully as I play more, I'll be able to find more nuances of the game to pick apart.
