Decided to try out this game after hearing everyone praising it endlessly. Turns out, it's now one of the best stories I've experienced.

For a story from a game more than a decade old, it defies every expectation. There's little to no clichés, and all in all just a deep meaningful story that is unique even until now. Definitely one of Matsuno's Magnum Opus.

It also has probably one of the most complex but methodical gameplay mechanic for an SRPG. It's undoubtedly very challenging but it's also satisfying once you get the hang of it. It is also possible to break the game, as I did with my DK Ramza.

Overall, as it is an old game, it's obviously not without flaws but it's also really that good.
