I cannot preface enough how limited my options were for this series. Initially, I played an emulated version of the NES game but quickly found it untenable. My issue with the NES version is its speed. In its rawest form, Final Fantasy I is undeniably sluggish. The simple act of selecting commands, or waiting for enemies to finish their turns adds literal HOURS to any playthrough. My most significant annoyance was planning party-wide commands eons before the game was able to transition to my next turn.
