What a good ass experience. This game has one of the most expansive and impressive battle systems in any RPG ever. The job system is truly extraordinary and makes the game so much fun to play combined with all the different spells. Makes the dungeon crawling fun The story mode is not up to part with the gameplay but it's serviceable. This is one of the few times where I'd say the plot and themes excel the characters. This is the first final fantasy where the goal isn't a super simple crystal fetch quest and posts some interestingenvironmentalist questions. However the pacing is quite slow and the characters are lacking with the exception of Faris and Gilgamesh who are fan favorites for a reason. Overall the game is a solid 7/10 the story is serviceable for what it is but the gameplay really excels
