just beat this game, and HATED the clunkiness of combat dynamics, but i LOVED the job system, lots of potential in the right hands
hated the dialogue so much, even by the end of the game when i understood the full plot i still hated how ridiculous the dialogue was the entire game, i could skip majority of all the dialogue and still piece the story together, thats how pointless all of it was
even worse, when you enter certain dungeon areas triggering team dialogue, it triggers again entering that spot as if they didnt say it already, its fixed triggers and jarring
hated how tiny the map felt because you dont actually travel anywhere, wym a floating base appeared randomly, you dont even know what the outside of most of these places look like to inspire a sense of adventure and to compound it, the loot system is also bad because it goes hand in hand with last point, whats the point of exploring anything if any sneaky chest is just generic gear, just rush to quest points with drop rate increase if you want, no equipment is really special, its all lvls and stats you need
monster variety is ASS i wanna say about 25% in, you just met all the monster types, now they just change colors or sum, i get thats somewhat of a staple in FF but FF games still had a MUCH larger roster of monsters to fight from than this, cuz so many of these creatures clash with their enviroment, marlboros are everywhere, ogres are everywhere, SAHAGIN are everywhere, skellies are everywhere, black widow spiders are everywhere, and horses are everywhere...ok?
i can go on and on, but thats my 2 cents, i was lowkey upset FF1 remake was made this way, FF1 is barebones but its easy to expand on because they expanded on chaos in spinoffs before, and garland too, and they can add more of the iconic characters/monsters np, like chocobos and moogles, FF grown so big they coulda gave the first final fantasy an incredible rebirth, maybe even call it the First Fantasy as a nod or something, so much could've been done
P.S grew up playing all the games up to now, i also got a bunch of the references they did in the game but it mattered too little too late
i guess some of the music is decent but not enough to impact quality like for example FF13's soundtrack
