I went into this blind without ever playing a STALKER game before and didn't use any mods. This game has some of the best atmosphere of any game I've played. They nailed the setting perfectly. This game has a lot of player-choice and you can determine the outcome of almost every event. Your actions are meaningful and affect things like the allies you can recruit into your squad and the ending of the game.

I strongly disagree with those that say this is one of the weaker DQ games. It's got a great story that isn't afraid to take risks, a memorable cast of characters, and beautiful spritework. My biggest complaint with this one is the class system. They should've just had preset classes for each character like they did with DQ4.

I was really excited for this, but ended up being extremely disappointed. Outside of certain fight scenes, this is one of the most boring and uninteresting games I've ever played. Forced myself to play it for around 30 hrs because I paid $70 for it, but eventually abandoned it. I don't know how they managed to mess it up this bad.
Great when it's being faithful to the original, otherwise disappointing. I'm not against changes to the original as long as they are good, such as the incredible new combat system or additional party interactions. The problem is that almost every deviation this game's story takes from the original is horrible. If they just kept this as a faithful retelling of the original it would be one of the best games ever made, but as it stands I can't even recommend it as the definitive version of FF7. Replaying on hard mode was much more fun than normal mode.
