You can still rate previous days games if you missed them, just write <game name><rating>. If you want to change your rating you can just specify that you are changing your rating. Nominations for future days are also welcome, nominate as many games as you like and I will get to all of them.

Time travel plot twists help out a very standard fantasy quest. I like that rescuing the princess is just the initial conflict.

Save the world, but with a weird ass plot dump at the end. FF1 is all about the battle system.

It's about as good as you're gonna get for 1987. It's greatest asset is its ability to lean into every fantasy trope imaginable, while still making something decidedly Final Fantasy. I actually enjoy the time loop aspect of Garland and feel it's decently original even.

Resident Evil 6: 2.5/10. Terrible Ada stuff and for some reason they entirely rewrote Chris's backstory. The rest isn't great but a step above I guess.

I, Garland, will knock you all down!

With help from a complete nonsense time loop where I send the four fiends back in time and then they send me forward in time and somehow that means we both live forever and are invincible.

Like, okay, credit for it being an NES game from 1987 with moderately little text and a horrible lowercase G in the font they chose, but there's still some pretty seriously inane garbage packaged in here. You don't play FF1 for the story. Giving it basically the lowest marks I can for something that doesn't actively make me angry.

3/10

I've always said that FF1 falls apart from the moment you finish selecting your party.

This game is a DND campaign without the inter-player interaction. Without that, all that's left is a typical fantasy adventure story that can only become memorable through the wacky things you discover. It kind of works for what it's going for.

It's alright. I don't like the time loop as much, especially since Square likes returning to the FF1 story. I feel like it just confuses me more often than not.

Even given its time period, it's bare bones.
