If you've ever played the original Final Fantasy I & II on GBA, this mod is like revisiting an old friend—except now they’ve been hitting the gym. The balance tweaks make those early-game mages actually useful (finally) and the difficulty curve feels way less punishing without losing that classic grind.

You still get the same pixel-perfect charm—the chocobos, the airships, the absurdly long spell names—but battles don’t feel like luck-based slogs anymore. I remember getting wrecked by Garland in the original; here, it’s tough but fair, and your party setup actually matters. The tweaks are subtle enough that purists won’t scream "heresy," but just enough to make replaying these gems feel fresh.

Also, no more hoarding potions like a dragon with trust issues. The economy’s fixed.
