I didn't like it that much, mainly due to the Junction System. I don't think the system is terrible like some, it's actually pretty in depth and allows for more customization than the Materia System. The story took a little for me to get interested in but by the final act of Disc 2, I was engaged and was the only reason I finished it. Seeing Squall go from an annoying edgy MC to a respectable character was cool. It has the unfortunate circumstance of being in between VII and IX, but it is in no way a bad game.
