Overall, I think it's a great game, with one exception.

The item system is seriously messed up. There are 3 primary ways to gain new items: Winning them as drops from opponents, buying them in the shop, or using the Battlegen system. While Battlegens are fairly common, they produce pitiful little accessories with minor boosts that are primarily used to trade for bigger things. To get armor and weapons, you need either to get drops (good luck with that, the drop rate is insanely low), or buy in the shop. Oh, and the items in the shop? Yeah, they cost an incredibly high amount of gil (compared to what your gil intake is), will be obsolete in about 5 levels, and half of them require trade accessories that I can't even Battlegen yet.

The rest of the game is fairly cool. Playing primarily with Bartz right now, though I've started Squall's story too. I have gotten 100% on the prologue and Bartz's Destiny Oddessey.
