He's a laser totin' love magnet, that Blasto.
Some days at work you digitize long-lost video game ROMs like you're a video game Indiana Jones and other days you babysit a video tape of someone playing "Blasto" by Sony Interactive Studios America for the PlayStation home video game console

I've been there since day one, so I can safely say that no, my first FF isn't my favorite. 😅
But my first 16-bit FF? Absolutely. Terra, Locke, Celes, Gau, and the rest of the gang are my RPG gold standard.
