Excellent game. It's interesting to see the series evolve from "gameplay first with a little bit of story as a treat" to "we treat gameplay and story with equal levels of seriousness." Obviously what you get here isn't on the same level or of the same depth as some of the narratives you get in later Final Fantasy titles but compared to what comes before it? It's practically War and Peace.

Also I love the ATB system. Thank you so much for gifting us that.
