A fun and interesting enough game that's unfortunately a bit of a mess both story-wise and gameplay-wise. Story starts off with some intrigue with the academy setting of awkward teens having to commit war-crimes but just kind of goes off the deep end in the third act where a bunch of crap's kind of thrown at the wall to see what sticks. Combat's still fun, if a little more tedious than in prior Final Fantasies thanks to some needless overcomplications with the Junction and Draw mechanics. Still enjoyed my time with it, especially in no small part due to the excellent music and Squall being one of the most interesting main protagonists that Final Fantasy has come up with (even if the rest of the cast can be somewhat lacking). Triple Triad's pretty fun!
