It's pretty fun to play, but it got tough through the last chapter. The story seems to be intentionally overextended just to give you a few more missions to do.
Anyway, it has good characters, a story good enough and so fun mechanics that deserves to have your attention if you are into these kind of games.

I wanted to replay again this because the only time I'd be able to finish it was when the game was launched and it didn't fit me at all, and I'd supposed with the years it would've changed my mind... but in fact I think it has been worse than I would ever imagine.
Graphically is incredible even for nowadays, the CGI are stunning and some of the environment and maps are just amazing.
The battle system, however, is tedious since you have to repeat the same structure paths with similar enemies once and once again (It usually makes you to want to avoid most of the encounters in the way), but I have to say that the difficulty is so well measured and it introduces the chain gauge which would be implemented by so many other games in the future.
As a negative topic, the story is so rushed and confused that sometimes it doesn't even make sense at all, and the characters doesn't evolve enough, nothing remarkable if we compare them with other entries.
In any case, I have to mention the OST as so many other games in the franchise, which is spectacular, probably its best quality.
Resume: Not recommended if you want to start with the series with it.

This is the way to do a remake that improves absolutely every characteristic from the original game. Spacial mention to the audio design which is FANTASTIC and creates a great oppressive atmosphere.
