I chalk it up to one thing: Chocobos.

Yep, red chocobos, black chocobos, all the chocos you can get is what makes the game good. NOTHING ELSE. Well... except the Cyclops summon.

Actually, the class system is very well done, the music is good, your standard tactics gameplay, the panels and CT system thing were interesting enough. And it's Final Fantasy. You know what class does what (if you played FF3 or V that is) and the summons/magic are all familiar.

Personally, I like Tactics Ogre more, but not many agree with me on that one.

While the game is great, I found it a little too easy. But it's still great. It has that special little something that sets it apart. And I say it's the Chocobos.
