I liked the cast and the overall tone of the game.

I really liked ExDeath as a villain, he is badass. His design was awesome and the character concept quite interesting; sure he is a tad one dimensional but that's part of the charm. His three themes are also really great. I feel that he is quite underrated overall.

There is of course Gilgamesh who is all kinds of awesome and the entire section of the Void was really well done.

Damn, I've been pondering about what FF game to revisit next and I think I just found it
