Lord above, this game had me bawling at the end. I knew what would happen. But still, I could not hold back my adult tears. Zack deserves the world. It was precious to see his relationships and interactions with others.
The audio is quite jarring. The gameplay would have been better if not for the aiming mechanic and the overall jank of the game. There was a game-breaking bug with a key I didn't pick up from a safe which set me back 2 hours' worth of gameplay. The story wasn't interesting to me either.
Calling this an RPG is an insult to actual RPGs. The humor is cringe, the characters are unlikable, & the story is not as incredible as I was made to believe.
It took me a full playthrough to understand the Junction system, but once I did, I can confidently say this is my favorite old-school/classic Final Fantasy game. The story can sometimes get whacky, but the characters make up for it.
