I liked it. I rate it somewhere in the middle of all the FF's, notably ahead of FFI, FFII and of course FFX. I put it on par with V, VIII and XII, in the "I really liked this game, but it's not as good as VII" category. I still feel that the entire group of playable characters is probably the best group of characters from any Final Fantasy game. There are stronger characters out there, sure, but if you go by the amount of time they spent on each character and picking out the "weakest link" in all the FF's... this one tops the lot, for me. And they actually had decent voice acting, which was a pleasant surprise (I rarely enjoy voice acting).
