Its easily one of the worst FF's to date. The games saving grace is its battle system. Its a good thing Square nailed the battle system as all you seem to be doing in this game is fighting. The games presentation is top notch but there is something a bit sterile about the enviorments, especially when you compare it to the pre-rendered backgrounds from FFIX. The soundtrack, while not as memorable as previous games, is still excellent. The story is too confusing for its own good and the characters are mostly forgettable. Its still worth playing though.
