I gave it an 8. The battle engine & job system are great. The high amount of customization makes for an almost endless amount of skill combos & thus good replay value.

The only 3 negatives for me:
1) The story can be a bit confusing at some points.
2) I thought the graphics were sub-par compared to other games of its time, especially compared to FF7. The summons' lack of animation was very disappointing.
3)I would have liked to see more use of the characters who join your group. They didn't want to make more than 1 cut scene based on what characters you kept, so once you had the option of keeping or rejecting a character, they pretty much disappeared from the storyline.

I consider these to be pretty minor gripes. FFT still rules.
