It's weird that the visuals have been updated so much, but the pacing and story are the same as the NES game. I feel like if you wanted to play the old final fantasys to see where the series came from you'd wanna play the original nes style, and if you wanted to play a modernish rpg there's stuff with way more depth. Still fun, just feels a little odd. Wish there was an official translation/release of the original version along with this
