Final Fantasy is one of the most successful video game series of all time. In this retrospective video essay, I'll explain what the first game in the series, the original Final Fantasy 1 (also known as FF1 or FFI) was like, how it's held up by modern video game design standards, and whether it's still worth playing today.
