That Moguri Mod goes hard though.
This is my first Final Fantasy and goddamn what a great game this was. Every character is just so memorable and likable, even the ones who didn't get as much fleshing out as they shoulda (Freya).
Zidane was a great protag and he really just made all his scenes so much better with his charisma, kind-heartedness, and every moment near the end game once you get into around the final 7ish hours of the game. Vivi needs no explanation he's just the best and a good kid.
Steiner is great and an absolute goof, Dagger is immediately interesting, some of her mid-game sorta interactions are a bit meandering, but she really ends up as a great character by the end. Freya didn't get enough closure but still a good character that I can't help but really like cuz she's just cool and a really big humanoid rat. Amarant is one of those characters who're weird and subtle in how they develop, even during the explicit development parts, and I really like him for that.
Eiko is cute and a gremlin and while she initially seems like she'll be an annoying child, she ends up being quite likable by the end. And Quina is just the weirdest thing ever, but they're very funny sometimes so they get a pass.
Tons more major and minor characters I could talk about, but the gist is that they're all great and memorable and I love each and everyone of them cuz they're so goofy and unique. Music is amazing, too. The final boss theme is just so good especially considering this is a PS1 game. Highly recommend.
