The sort of game where I respect it from a distance but it does absolutely nothing for me.
Sort of assumed that this would have plot elements or characters that would come into play in Rebirth but this seems completely useless narratively (and I just got that confirmed by a friend of mine who just finished Rebirth). So kind of a complete waste of time, and you spend it playing as possibly the worst character in the history of Final Fantasy, but at least she's fun to play in combat I guess. And it's only 3 hours which I'm appreciating more and more as I get older. The stuff that gets imported in from Compilation of FF7 seems like genuinely the worst shit ever made though. Kingdom Hearts but even worse.
This has probably my favorite job system of any RPG I've ever played, heavily emphasizing on-the-fly party customization to a degree not really seen elsewhere in the series except FF8. Really really loved experimenting with the various jobs, even if more than a couple of them are basically useless. And I dig the comparatively jaunty, almost Shounen Jump-esque vibe after FFIV's somber self-seriousness. More FF protagonists should be plucky nice guys who are also a little bit stupid.
