It's good, but it really dropped the ball at the end with too much story and not enough playing. It's like they couldn't come up with any more levels so they just decided to rush it with people in a chair breezing over events. Still, one of the best stories for a game.

I also didn't like the fact that gears didn't gain levels. I liked fighting as the characters more and I feel there wasn't enough of that.

This is not Square's best RPG (FFVI) but people should still play it because it is good and I agree that not enough people have. Hell, I hadn't until about a year ago.
