    I'm excited to pile this onto my deep backlog. I played the demo on 3DS way back when, but never got around to playing the game. Which is strange for a lifelong Final Fantasy fan. I've always heard good things, and I like the soundtrack.

    As far as I can tell, there was no marketing around this, and they quietly released it on Steam. The Steam reviews say it's a very well optimized port. It's also on Xbox Series now. It's surprising because it seemed like a Nintendo platform exclusive, but apparently not!

    Big fan of the original game. I played the original (OK, strictly speaking, the Japanese "For the Sequel" re-release) on the 3DS and it was the closest I've ever come to feeling like I was playing a new 'classic' Final Fantasy game of the kind they used to make before FF7.

    I've played both of the sequels and while the gameplay loop is still solid, I don't think either of the stories or gimmicks are as well executed as in this one.

    For anyone else who loves this series and wants more while hanging out for Bravely Sword to maybe eventually come out, check out Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light on the DS. It's the progenitor to the Bravely Default series in all but name and has a very similar system and style of storytelling.
