For a game that is seemingly too “fun” and “friendly”, this game can be quite unforgiving in difficulty and a bit dark in story. Until you learn the ropes of the game, I cannot imagine a child getting around the first few dungeons. The challenge becomes more manageable and fun, however, as you progress through the game, unlocking several jobs in the process.

The Chocobo franchise was my entry point to the endless rabbit hole of the world of Final Fantasy. This game specifically sealed that deal.
