One of the dumbest stories and plot twists in all of gaming... retroactively makes everything, including its own franchise, much worse.

Battle system is alright, and breaking the HP limit back then was pretty neat... dying when losing all your MP not so much...

Story, characters, and voice acting range from bad to god awful. Music is good though.

The plot twist through the ending of the game really soured me on the entire experience and pissed me off. I hated it by the end and will never revisit it... nor do I recommend anyone, even diehard JRPG fans, play it.
