it's nice to look at. My first playthrough I found the game very boring towards the end due to the fact that you can just push the stick and that's it.

i'm on my second playthrough and i'm enjoying it still, we'll have to see endgame. It's different. There's alot of inherent strategy to it w/ gambits, i just played tiamat, and a change in gambits (and purchasing a few gold needles) completely reversed the difficulty. So in that regard, it's a success.

at the same time, i do miss victory music (only for boss battles now), and i think Square got really good in PSX era with the camera positions and how it changes in battle, helped to make the battles more fun to watch and participate in. so right now i would say i prefer ATB to ADB.
