I understand why this game was so beloved back in the day, but I am glad that there were added QOL features such as speed up and god mode so that people can breeze through the battles to experience the story, because it works well. The materia system for the combat adds a lot of variety for the party and I think I will come back to this game at some point. It's dated in some aspects, particularly with the visuals and traversal, but it's an RPG must play.
