I've flown American's international first course a countless number of times. This includes their old first course on the 777-200,as well as their new first course on the 777-300.
The total number of international first course seats American has fleetwide is decreasing significantly, as 777-200s are being reconfigured without first course.
I find there to be a significant benefit to first course over business course on the old 777-200s, and given that first course features direct aisle access from every seat,while the business course seats are angled, with seven seats per row. While the first course product is outdated, and it's worth it for the physical consolation (this doesn't apply on the reconfigured 777s,which occupy a new business course product).
Meanwhile on the 777-300 the difference is marginal at best. American has a great reverse herringbone seat in business course, featuring direct aisle access from every seat.
