Probably one of the biggested flawed gems ever.
The world building feels right out of a storybook, and the atmosphere is all over the place. Easily one of the best art styles of the Final Fantasy series and easily my favorite video game soundtrack ever.
I wish games like this still existed. Something that feels grand but distinctly like a total experimental passion project. The GameCube era was full of this stuff.
It's a shame that game can be a bit repetitive. It never really changes much from point A to B and it barely commits to being an RPG and a dungeon crawler.
If you had problems with it before, the remaster will make zero attempt to change any of that. The game looks pretty, and the music is remastered, there's some voice acting that is appreciated but it doesn't add anything. It's otherwise the exact same game.
It's not even remotely for everyone, but I love it all the same. Lot of memories.
