I wish I liked this game as much as everyone else does, I really really do. It's got some of the best feeling turn-based combat in the franchise (and probably in the whole genre) but so much of the rest of the game just didn't click for me. I liked a few of the characters, but my favs were all left with rather short and unsatisfying storylines whereas the characters I didn't care about very much all the focus. On top of that, the voice acting is.... well it's historically significant and it's important that it's there but it's really rough. It was genuinely hard for me to sit through all those cutscenes.

This game is massively important to Final Fantasy and to JRPGs and maybe to gaming as a whole but to revisit it in the modern day is tough, especially for someone like me with no nostalgia for it.
