In Final Fantasy

This week I have to post the Game of the Week on Sunday, because I won't be home all Monday.
The pick is Final Fantasy. Part 1. Please don't talk about other parts. Keep those for future posts when FF2 or 3 might be GotW.

Final Fantasy (ファイナルファンタジー) is a console role-playing game developed and published by Square Co., Ltd. for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1987, and is the inaugural game in Square's flagship Final Fantasy series. (...)
The story begins with the appearance of the four youths called the "Warriors of Light" who each carry one of their world's elemental Crystals which have been darkened by Garland and his four Elemental Fiends. Together, they quest to defeat Garland's forces, restore the light of the crystals and restore their world.
Final Fantasy was one of the most influential and successful role-playing games on the Nintendo Entertainment System, and played a major role in popularizing the genre. Famitsu voted Final Fantasy the 63rd greatest game of all time on March 3, 2006.



After having Dragon Warrior as Game of the Week some weeks before it was time that Final Fantasy also got that honor.
Even by today's standards it's still a pretty decent game.
Also people on this board seem to enjoy Final Fantasy quite much.
Our FF champion OSG's quest is only one example.

Boxart time!




Again the question: Which do you like better?

Do you own FF? What versions?
I own the Famicom cart and the Wonderswan color version. If I see the GBA FF1+2 for cheap I might get that, too.

To tell you the truth, I've never been a big Final Fantasy fan, especially not with the first one. I mean, I like it, but it's not something I'd play more than once.

I feel obliged to post in this thread, but I'm way too tired to say anythin coherent.

So, uh, I actually don't think I can get enough of this game. I keep finding new ways to enjoy it, and new ways to play it.

Jap boxart is the best. and yes awesome Gotw
