A wonderful cast of characters which carry this game so hard. The interactions between Vivi and Steiner alone are enough for me to recommend this game to everyone.

It still is an old Final Fantasy game with all the annoying stuff that comes with that but it takes a big leap from FF VIII and has a lot of important quality-of-life improvements.

The story on its own has its interesting moments and takes an overused but pretty well-executed direction. What makes this game is the dialogue between the characters and their humour and emotions.
I just couldn't resist laughing every time Vivi just fell on his face for no reason at all.
It's nice to see how organic the whole squad ensembles which makes their interactions far more relatable.

I did not enjoy the art style of the human characters. The chibi style looks great on Vivi and Quina and even still works on a clunky character like Steiner but Lili, Zidane and Beatrixe just look awful with it. It looks like they are toddlers but then they gave Lili a skin-tight orange latex suit which makes her butt pop out weirdly. Very awkward and I did not like it at all.

Besides its questionable character style decision one of the best Final Fantasy titles.

I think I need a Vivi plush.
