As long as you don't expect a fantastic story, the game is pretty neat. The characters are paper thin and the plot is no where near as engaging as its direct predecessors or sucessor but the Job system is probably the best in the main series (The tactics games are somewhat superior still), the difficulty is decent and it's generally mindless fun.

I'm not a great fan, but it's mildly amusing. It's no where near as good as FFVI though. If you are expecting anything even remotely similar, turn back now.
