For those of you who've played the first installment, what do you think of it?

I've played and "beaten" the first installment and I think I'm still on the fence about it. Which I'm saddened to say since FFIV is my favorite Final Fantasy (probably because it was the first one I played).

To me, it seems like the creators tried too hard and I'm kinda annoyed at the whole moon phases.

Anyway, I'm most likely going to continue getting the other installments just to see if it gets any more enjoyable.
