It IS very, very underrated, and that's sad. Square didn't release this game in North America, and so it never really go much attention in 1992 when the game was originallt released. It's only really been played by Final Fantasy fans, and not really played by the gaming public. It is very different, and it's very innovative. It lets yoiu completly customize your characters, and put you at the helm. The other SNES FF games don't give you near as much control over your characters; the game decides for you, for the most. Also, this was never offically released stateside until FF Anthology for the PSX, and that had alot to do with it being underrated too, I think. Most gamers were turned off by the fact that the graphics were 2-D and 16-bit, as opposed to most other PSX titles.

It's a shame. This game is a true gem. It's probably my favorite FF game.
