This is the first JRPG or RPG I ever played. It was the 90's I was in 4th grade and my friends older brother was playing it with a friend. In the end we all played it for hours together trying to work out what to do with nothing but some hints from Nintendo Power. I personally played through the game years later and the story is excellent. They somehow manage to make you care about a large cast of characters, something few games accomplish as well. This game is no less worth playing today than when it came out. The one negative I can think of is that accomplishing some tasks in the game require a long grind. It can now be easily obtained on Steam as part of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters. If you want you can probably still find an SNES copy but it will cost a bit and may or may not save reliably if you don't change the battery.
