Final Fantasy I as the remaster keeps the core of the game. It's still the same game that we know and love. The story is pretty simple and doesn't require a lot of your braincells to work at once. Straight forward four guys saving the world from the bad guy, killing a lot of monsters in the process. What's not to love?

Allow me to do this via the form of "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly", since I think this is going to be the fastest and easiest to read.

The Good:
- That's a fantastic game if you look for something to start your adventure with JRPGs.
- Keeps the original core of the game,
- Refreshing graphic is trully remarkable.
- Soundtrack hits right in the feels but also has a few unexpected twists.
- Enemies sprites are executed wonderfully. None of them across the entire 137 bestiary entries feels out of place.

Well... Since nothing is perfect the game has some both minor and major flaws. The bad:

- I have mentioned the monster sprites to be good. That's becouse I feel like the class models (especially white wizard, thief, warrior / knight as well as black mage seem pretty... questionable [For reference I am comparing those to FF1's Dawn of Souls collection.] but this is strongly subjective.

- Very few entries in the OST make you feel like these simply do not work [ *cough Talking about you Kraken].
- But there are 138 monsters! Not 137! And again. The model of sea beast left me with a solid "WTF" expression on my face.
- Many items that appear in the GBA or PSP version are not included in the PR. Had to go back and forth to bestiary to find out.
- Bestiary should be available with a single button press without the need of player going to title screen.

And now... for the worst of the worst... The ugly...

- If you already made the entire game a few times (GBA / PS1 / PSP / NES now the PR... Why didn't you include the extra DoS bosses as well as Chronodia (the PSP boss). The game feels like it really lacks content.
- DLCs are NOT availble if you did NOT purchase the entire bundle, which I feel a little bit scammed of.
- While We are at the topic of scams... The price. 10 euro isn't a lot to ask about but at the same time without the content it is too much.
- The game is way too easy. Even I played through the game with one of the hardest early game squad, which is thief / thief / monk / white mage I finished the game with each of my character dying once.
- Late Mid Game made me almost unkillable unless it was a OHK. Was immortal in the End Game with 99 potions, ethers and cottages.
- I made this team for killing uber bosses: Omega, Rangnarok - you name it. Got dissapointed.
- Lack of "Hard Mode" after compliting the game. Yes, I am aware Hard Mode is a hacked ROM for the GBA but I feel like it should've been the feature of a remaster.

So there you have it. Do I hate the game? Absolutely not! Do I love it? I love the changes! Am I dissapointed? Well... Yes. Even though I wrote a bunch of bad things about this game I feel more then happy to recommand the game to you, newcommers and veterans alike! Stay tuned for the next reviews.

============================================ SIDENOTE / SPOILERS ===============================
- You are not able to farm Evil Eye at the Ice Cavern anymore. They fixed it with having him spawn only once. RIP.
- If you want to complete the bestiary and you require entry #118 the Warmech you have to go to the Flying Fortress lvl 5 (on the bridge before Tyrent and look for him there). The FF1 Wiki has an error. Also there's 3/64 you get him. Don't be mad if you start looking for him at level 50 and you end up finding him being lvl 75. That's what happend to me. Stay cool.
