Ah, the classic road trip that goes awry! I was excited to get into this game, and spent a fair amount of time with it, but it felt just a little too big after a while. There's a lot of side content to tackle, some of it compelling, some of it a drag. The main story is fine--definitely improved with the eventual changes Square made to the base game, and the four lead characters are all unique and interesting. Gameplay-wise, the combat feels like a work-in-progress that doesn't really get perfected until FFVII Remake. It's a fun, but only just above average experience.
