For my first FF game I gotta say, this is an amazing game. The cast of characters really help a lot with the story, its not the best story out there but its still really charming. The game can get extremely dark with a major character death mid way through the game. Gameplay wise, this is the best job system I've seen in a game, there is so much to choose from and so many different set ups you can choose. You can make your entire party extremely broken and there is nothing from stopping you to do so. Because of this job system the game can get a bit grindy but aside from that, its an amazing game and definitely a must play for any JRPG fan.
