My first Final Fantasy and how I loved it on my GameBoy. Probably not as good as I remember and thats why I am not playing it ever again. :)

Completed on emulator with guide and savestates. Nothing special, but the music is quite nice.

Beat 1x. Remember: looks like Final Fantasy but the game mechanics are SaGa. Save system is flexible since the original Game Boy could not be put to sleep. Cheesed out a ton of bosses because the stone spell 1-hit kills them but sadly found out too late about the chainsaw and final boss.
