Without a doubt, one of the harder Final Fantasies to play. I did do a lot of grinder in order to compensate for the hard hitting enemies, but honestly Final Fantasy has always been an easy to play franchise for me, so this challenge was gladly accepted that the grind didn't feel so tedious.

You also start to see the whimsical nature of Final Fantasy appear in this game. The first two Final Fantasys were serious which fit their respective stories, so seeing the playful storytelling, variety of character personalities, and hell even the whimsical yet high fantasy, baroque-esque music was a great tone change to keep the franchise going strong. I think it's essential in having lightheartedness when telling dark story elements.

Overall, not a bad Final Fantasy. I can see myself playing this game again more than once in my lifetime!
