Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.89/day in the week to Aug 4 → 4.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

The game that started it all. This game still holds up today. While the combat is basic, I found myself enjoying it. Heading to different towns and speaking to the people there felt really nice and helps immerse you into this world. The story is pretty good, especially towards the end. And of course the music is great, it's Final Fantasy after all.
Not the definitive way to play because theres no extra content from the PSP version, but man this is still a banger JRPG

The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 22: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

[h3] A classic JRPG from a different era ported to PC, updated with new graphics and other modern QoL features, but still with notable flaws [/h3] Final Fantasy, originally released for the NES in 1987, was a groundbreaking game that meshed western D&D archetypes with Japanese game design and flavor. Compared to modern games it is very dated and shows it's age, but at the time it was quite revolutionary and for many western gamers, their first experience with JRPGs. This truly is a piece of gaming history, and without Final Fantasy 1, there would be no 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 etc. I think it's worth playing for that reason alone if you're a JRPG fan, because it shows you the very beginning and where it all originated from. This remaster does a good job updating the 8 bit NES game to a more modern standard. The graphics and interface are visually appealing, there is now an auto-battle feature so battles are quicker and less tiresome, and they have added in-game maps of all areas so the world is much more accessible than ever before. All these things were done well and deserve recognition. Despite this, there are still some major flaws that feel as though they could have been easily addressed. First, though the UI has been modernized it's still lacking in some respects. For example, to have all your characters flee from battle, you need to make a total of 12 button presses! The game shouldn't require that much pressing for a common action. Compare that to other Final Fantasy games, where fleeing is simply holding the L + R buttons together. Speaking of random encounters: they are [i]extremely[/i] frequent. Thankfully there is an option to toggle them on/off. But why does it also require 6 button presses? The menuing in this game is really dissatisfying, to be quite honest. It's fine for keeping encounters toggled on or off for long periods of time. But switching between them in a dungeon is a chore. An option to select random encounter frequency on a scale from 0.25x - 0.5x - 1x would've been peak. Another major UI flaw worth pointing out is [b]spells/items cannot be moved in the inventory[/b]. If you want to change the position of a spell, you have to delete it and then pay to re-learn it. All in all, I do recommend playing Final Fantasy I because it is a serviceable port with solid updates and will open your eyes to a wonderful part of gaming history. Yet on a separate level, I feel as if the remaster is lacking and falls short in many respects. A few simple menu updates could easily make this game into a far superior experience. [b]Verdict: 6/10[/b]
After enjoying my time with later Final Fantasy instalments, it only felt right to go back to the beginning and see how this amazing franchise started. Whilst the characters lacked depth, and the story wasn't as crazy as normal, I had a really fun time with it. I found that I welcomed a simpler tale, and was really impressed with the conclusion of the story. The music was fantastic too. I enjoyed the battle system, and liked the different magic system as well. Whilst a bit restrictive at times, the game never felt punishing with it. The airship was fabulous, as it was the first one I controlled with no problems (though there was hardly anywhere to land!) Having played 9 already, it was fun to see all of the inspiration they took from this game. I found myself guessing what reference would come next! It was also great to see Bahamut, as well as his dragon friends. Little fun honourable mentions go to the bats, who loved to Kee Kee until they learnt proper English. I also loved the Elves and the Dwarves. It was funny to see that inn price inflation has always existed within the franchise. This game was particularly appalling for it, though, because one inn was decrepit with cobwebs, yet they charged me the same price as the lovely inn at Elfheim! Overall, I really enjoyed the simplicity of this game. It was great to see the original game of this beloved franchise, and I am proud that my first Final Fantasy with 100% achievements has been this one.
Juegazo realmente no conocía nada de la Saga FF solo conocía el FF7 por memes pero decidí probar para dejar de ser un turista y realmente me encanto la historia de este FF el plus de meter las Funciones de las batallas automáticas para el farmeo de exp, también el de no tener encuentros y activarlo cuando quieras y aumentar la velocidad del personaje para moverse en los pueblos realmente hacen que la experiencia sea mas llevadera y mas divertida. la historia no será la mas original pero cumple con su cometido

I've never come across this series, but after trying to play on the nontendo switch, I bought all the parts of this franchise. The game was very addictive, despite the old-school graphics, excellent plot, lots of spells, and a huge map. Respect to the developers for such an excellent game, I definitely recommend it.
Please for the love of god just emulate the Anniversary Edition of this game on PSP. It's only 10000000000000% better than this sloppily ported piece of ♥♥♥♥. I love this game. It's my favorite Final Fantasy. Let's not butcher it with the [Pixel De-Make] You can have the stance of: It's the original. Spells per day/per rest were the original: I'd just counter that it was a stupid concept from the get-go. Don't take away my Super-Bosses or Challenge Dungeons. It defeats the ENTIRE purpose of trying to build a post game party. Group composition is hard, its why when you are the one that has to pick people don't like it. :P
传奇的开端! 作为新玩家,抱着试一试的心态,原以为会玩不下去,没想到越玩越上头。 画面虽然是像素,但经过重制,其精细度已经可以对标现代像素画风了。玩法上就是最纯粹最古老的RPG玩法,没有多余的支线和隐藏要素,也没有花里胡哨的技能和演出。自由度挺高的,跑图没有限制,不过相对的,指引很弱,需要去哪里需要做什么,这些都要跟NPC对话才知道。 以现在的眼光确实不够看,但毕竟是1987年的作品,也不能要求太多。 折后买来体验一下经典还是很不错的。
La verdad, yo he jugado mas que nada la version de NES y origins en ps1 y este remaster esta bastante bien, lindo OST y calidad de vida. Para alguien como yo que jugo estos juegos tantas veces, la verdad que las versiones originales tienen un cariño especial y en el futuro cuando tenga ganas de jugar algun FF del 1 al 6 seguro sean a las que vaya, pero para alguien que quiere jugar estos juegos por primera vez, estos remasters son una buena opcion
