My first ever Final Fantasy game.
Story was crazy, unpredictable and truly awesome. Characters were unique, each one had something interesting about them that kept me invested throughout the game. The game does a great job of making you genuinely care for them. However, I always got the feeling that if I had played the original, these feelings would've been heightened and the story would've meant a whole lot more.
I was sceptical of the battle system at first but, as I played and got used to it, it became the best part of the game. Especially when you have 3 in a party. The stop start nature is perfect for scoping out each fight and getting the best tactical advantage.
My one gripe would be that the majority of the side quests felt a little stale and had no other purpose but to lengthen the game.
Overall its a must play. Even for people who have never played a Final Fantasy game, as I hadn't.
