I had very little Final Fantasy experience when I first played this, so it was a fun way to acquaint myself with the music and general vibes of the series (that I hadn't gotten from Kingdom Hearts).
The base collection of songs was very small, it didn't bother me much at the time but in hindsight it was pretty lacking without DLC. That said, I think they made good selections for what was included and combined with the gameplay made for an enjoyable and addictive time.
