conflicting feelings about this one I will try my best to put into words
gonna start with saying I have a lot of problems with it, which unfortunately sully the experience overall
biggest one of all is the fact that every single character gets mishandled in one way or another, even Vivi who I consider to be the best character by far gets an unsatisfactory ending since they just let his ending happen off screen
the mistreatment is Specially bad on Freya whose character arc completely stops and gets cast aside, for a lame ending
the plot is also just, not very good at parts, specially around the end of disc 2 and the start of disc 3, and once again the characters suffer from it
which is why I do not agree with how many people call this the best FF, or even a good game if I'm being honest
BUT
that does not mean I don't understand it
because despise my problems, god do I adore this game
when it's good it is Phenomenal, some of the best out there, the experience is magical and the messages it sets out to give are beyond beautiful
if anything me being so critical of it comes from a place of love, because I Want It To Be Better

this is one of my favorite games I think, even if I don't really like it all that much all the time
it's weird, I can't explain it, so I won't try to
I love Final Fantasy

update: every time I'm forced to think about this game I lower the score
