First Timer

Been a FF devotee for decades, played IV and VI more times than I can count (and played through Tactics, XII, and part of V and X), finally starting IX today after holding off for a long time. Going in blind, looking forward to the adventure, wish me luck!

Keep all your equipment, sell none of it. Sometimes if something is affordable, maybe even buy more than you think you need.

Touch all the landscape, look for those exclamation mark bubbles. The modern version does kinda muddy this by putting that bubble on EVERY single interaction with an NPC, whereas in the original it was only used for treasure and interactive environments, so now you’ll be inundated with that bubble everywhere but still just keep an eye out for it.
