Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

For 2024: 1994 with Final Fantasy 3(6j) back in Feb.

Currently 1997 with Final Fantasy Tactics since I heard the remaster rumor.

Seems like I’ve been on a FF kick.

Yeah, I’d actually only ever played VII and VIII before recently.

Now I seem to be going backwards through the series. Played VII, VI, and now V, where I currently find myself doing some rather boring endgame grinding to try to defeat the final boss battle.

The job system is one of the series strong points overall but it does end up requiring a lot more grinding than otherwise. Multiple kinds of leveling can be like that.

FF2 NES is the true grindfest though. Everything requires grinding in that, even hp.
