Well, I bought me a PlayStation2 to play this game, because I never finished Final Fantasy, and my NES was long dead.
At first it was a major disappointment. I've discribed it to most people as expecting to play an old favorite game with new graphics only to find that parts of it have been changed beyond recognition. While the story, charactors, and map are the same, the menuing and battle systems and such are more like the more recent FF games, and all the spell names are changed.
After playing a bunch of Final Fantasy X, I'm more used to the menuing system, though I still think they should have stuck with the originals. I still have my stratagy guide from when the original came out and it's still usefull, though its spell info has to be deciphered due to the changed spell names.
