Not worth it. It's old and the plot is too simple. Even with the remakes it's still boring.

if you want a change in gameplay why not try? it's very unique and the big changes since FFI are intriguing. though I admit some parts can turn out to be boring, since this is an FF if you're a fan of the series you can also learn something at least. the gameplay perhaps may be refreshing imo.

I don't mind the leveling system, and I think that most of the problems people have with it come from abusing it (e.g. attacking party for HP). My problem was with the magic levels, simply because I am quite used to getting the most powerful magic avaliable (the '-ga's or '-ja's), so I felt like I should have my magics fully leveled up to 16 near the endgame... whereas anybody who has played this game knows that leveling up your magics as such is a bit like leveling up characters to "99" in most regular leveling systems.

The story really does save it though; there is a much deeper plot to it than I (or III for that matter), and it's hardly outdated by today's standards.

I would say that it is definitely worth getting for any FF fan (which I assume we all are )

Any FF is worth getting that includes FFII which to me is really great.

Ofcourse it is. I suggest the GBA's Dawn Of Souls version though, it seems less irratating, older versions to me are praticly unplayable.

Big luv for Minwu!

I'd say its worth getting if you want to play an early FF game. It has a good story but I personally didn't like it mainly cuz of the weird levelling system.

In my eyes, every Final Fantasy is worth getting.
I prefer this to Final Fantasy I and III and it has some of my favourite music in from the whole series.
It can be devilishly difficult sometimes, so is probably not for inexperienced FF gamers.
I'd say this game is a bargain and a real gem, and since it's probably selling cheaply on NES and PS1 there's no reason not to get it.
