I love the story and world of this game so much, the characters relationships are my favorite in the series and the combat is still stylish and fun as hell to me. This game delivered on almost everything I wanted out of it honestly.
I love this port personally although I've never played the original, some of the best characters in the mainline series and introduced some of the best jobs in the series as well.
A very solid addition to the franchise and a great JRPG overall, I have fond memories of playing this on the PS2 and I was surprised it still held up so well on 3DS as well.
I love the character customization and party building in this game, I really hope they try this formula again eventually because it makes this one so much more replayable than the others.
