This game is one of the best JRPGs that still holds up extremely well with this remade version making it even more accessible.

The game is extremely fun pretty much the entire time. The combat is some of the most fun in terms of action-like combat systems in JRPGs although it does get a little messy later in the game once your party and the enemies are spamming spells and abilities.

There is a pretty unique skill system that is really fun to engage with but can also be safely ignored for the most part (if you wish). You are able to invest points into a variety of skills that allow you to combine healing items, craft weapons, upgrade weapons, add secondary abilities to equipment, play music, cook food, summon a mount, summon superbosses, reduce your stats for more experience....you get the gist.

I think if you are a fan of JRPGs and have never played this you owe yourself a favor to do so.
