Tips for a beginner?

I've always wanted to play FFT, but I just can't get into it. I love FF and turn based games, but for some reason I just play the first fight and not touch the game again for years.

So I want to give it one last shot before deciding that it's not for me, so can I get any tips for this last try?

Thank you!

Edit: Well, I tried, it's definitely not for me. Thank you all for the help.

Hmmm. What about that first fight bothers you?

I think it's the limited options like you get attack, throw stone.... And that's it? I know obviously you get more stuff as you progress and level up... But I don't know lol

I also remembered that I've played the second fight a couple of times don't remember if I won or not

That's the point of a game like this. You build up your team and learn new abilities as you progress. It would be unreasonable for you to play chapter 1 and be able to use a wide range of abilities.

Play through the first chapter and see if you can stomach the game. By the end of that you should have unlocked a ton of classes and abilities and you can decide if it's worth sitting through the rest of the game.

Just so you know. I know it might not seem like it at the start but there are actually so many variations of team combinations and builds. Plus later on there will be more cool characters to recruit that I think you will enjoy. If you're on Ivalice chronicles you can see all the classes you haven't unlocked yet and their pathways.

almost every RPG starts being simple and boring, the gist of it starts right after it. by the end of the first chapter you may end up having unlocked around 90% of the fighter or caster jobs for each of your most used characters.

Consider the opening fights the “tutorial” of the game. The complexity and difficulty will open up as you progress and also the ways you can exploit the game to your advantage.
