One of the greatest soundtracks of all time, first half is an incredible romp which, despite half the party being dull, is easily one of the best JRPG experiences I've ever had. Really fun combat/job system, visuals ooze charm too.

Entire essays could be written dissecting the second half of this game and how it's generally thought to be a trainwreck in terms of gameplay and narrative (though the actual idea is admittedly very cool). I'll just leave it at saying that I agree.
