Alright, is it overrated? Yeah, imo it kind of is.
Does that mean it's not a great game? Hell no.
I think it has aged pretty well in most regards with a good story, decent characters and great twists. (That have probably been spoiled for you, but whatever)
Gameplay-wise it's your traditional FF "turn-based" RPG. I'm more of a Persona/Megaten kinda guy, so not too big a fan of the ATB gauge but I got used to it fairly quickly.
I played the steam version, which I would advise against unless you really want your achievements. None of the Quality of life changes of other FF ports are implemented (3xSpeed,NoRandomEncounters,GodMode), setting up your controller is kind of a nightmare and you have to use a custom controller layout to even be able to use the D-Pad. So yea, just get the Windows Store version if you're planning on playing this game on your pc. Or emulate the switch port, idc I'm not your dad.
