I didn't like it much at first because of the weak characters and the weak story. But after a while the story does get kind of cool. The main thing is the bad guy jsut sucks, and his name makes him totally retarted. However, even with all of this against it is still a great game. It's pretty damn fun. Ive played through it a few times and every time it's great. Not as great as FFVI or FFIV, but it's still a great game. Go buy FF Anthologies now!
