This game feels like an amalgamation of cool ideas that are so half-baked that they actively bring the overall experience down for me. The main issue is the obtuse ass leveling system. I also think that characters switching in and out of the party is pretty neat on paper, but it ends up feeling dull because they either just die or fuck off without any development. Negative feelings about this game aside, I did find it an enjoyable experience. The music is great, there is an actual story (albeit not anything crazy but for the time its fine), and the world feels more fleshed out than FF1. Although this is probably my least favorite in the series at the moment, it was still a solid entry.
