Finally finished this game after a bit of time since I began it a few years ago, I can say safely for its time, it was innovative for the PS2 platform, with bugs still plaguing it that I unfortunately had to deal with multiple occasions throughout my play through. Nonetheless, I can say that for a playstation 2 game, this is one of the more fun RPG's I've played on the PS2, rivaling FFX and FF XII. The story is very interesting and Fayt's character progression throughout the story made him extremely likable. Overall, a fantastic game for its price point and another Square Enix classic.
