Im thinking of getting this game

But it looks boring. So why do you think this game rocks and why should I get it?

I thought FFT was a pretty good game.

The story is usually considered very strong, I found it pretty good but nothing special. I can say though it is ver linear you go from one place to the next on a line between cities. The characters never grabbed me because there wasn't much development, nor personalities, if you do like a straight out hero type though it could be enjoyable. The villians weren't great either (Wiegraf was very good) but they did have more point then your allies. Motives were somewhat better done but the characters of this game are not it's strong point that comes from gameplay and story. Graphically this is weak now but pleasant looking, I like the chocobos. The gameplay was the thing that kept me playing through it, it's slow and class based, but I really enjoyed moving your force through a field. It doesn't take much strategy most of the time but it's an interesting enjoyable concept that's worth trying. I liked the gameplay most when the field was uneven and there were areas hugely above others that could be used effectively. Overall the game is enjoyable but for me too weak on characters.

This is a view from someone not to into this game, which hopefully will give some contrast to people who normally post in this forum that like this game.

i liked this game ever since i was a little kid and i like just got a new copy cuz my bro broke my old one in half....... well anyway i think tha what raskinero said is right but it is still fun cuz of the game play but i also like the character gafgarion i thought he was well done, but i would have liked to get him bc he had awesome very good attacks

over all the game is cheap to buy and i think it is worth it

There was a recent thread about why we liked the game. These reasons can also translate in reasons to get the game so here we go:

2) Breedable monsters.

3) You can get most enemies to switch to your side.

4) A complex, almost labyrinthine plot.

5) Wide range of specialized characters with neat abilities.

6) A large number of subquests and propositions keep you immersed and challenged.

7) Music is nice.
