In my opinion, it is one of the best RPGs I have played.

What alot of the "ITS OVERRATED!!!" crowd forget is that it not only changed Final Fantasy, and RPGs as we knew it, but it changed the way videogames as a whole were made and presented.

Another factor why I like it so much is that it's the perfect mix of the old and new final fantasies. yes, it has those horrid FMVs that the VI fanboys terribly dread so much, and 3d graphics, but the sounds are very much still the traditional FF MIDI compositions... the battle screen has a blue window along the bottom displaying name/hp/mp/etc. It's a great game, and one of a kind if you ask me.
