I didn't play "FF" adventure, although I played its remake, "Sword of Mana"... It was good, but wasn't gripping like the other final fantasies of the time. (I'm comaparing it as it would have been when it first came out, but still did not stand out as the remake)

... By the time FF adventure came out I was an avid pokemon nerd (...still am...) and was continuously playing through my red, blue and yellow versions (thats right, I had all of them ) so I wasn't too open to other games. But I did have a chance to play more rpgs around the time of the first playstation rpgs. Most of which I enjoyed.
