I really, really detest the esper system, so this is much better, in my opinion. It's a biased opinion, but I still like the game itself. The customization potential is immense. I've always injoyed the job system.

However, due to my unorthodox playing style, I tend to require a lot more fighting, simply for the gil I use.

Even still, it's a great game, not to mention humorous at times.
