I was really impressed by this title. It's so often overlooked, but the story here is quite epic, and the Job system implemented here is a delight to play around with.
I loved the characters, who all had their own personalities (much like FF4 before it), but were not locked into specific roles (unlike FF4).

This title is a noticeably massive step up from its original, with a fleshed-out story, actual characters, and laying the foundation of the franchise. While its battle system can be polarizing, you can simply turn on the included Boosters here and just play the way you want to (assigning a "role" to each character for the game's duration), and then it's never really a big deal thereafter.

This is really where the franchise kicked things into high gear, with specific characters with their own individual identities in a sprawling story. Gone for the first time here is the notion of "make any character anything you want" but rather each is pre-defined and plays a role as part of the overall story.
This is one of the most memorable in the series with characters whose very designs persist to this day.

Introducing the Job system for the first time, your characters here can be any role you'd like, and even change roles at any point in time, which would become a hallmark of later titles (and revised even better in FFV).
Unfortunately, the characters themselves see very little actual characterization. Only your first named character is ever even referred to by anyone, with the three others simply tagalongs. While the 3D remake fixed this, those changes are not present here in the Pixel Remaster.
