Definitely one of the better Final Fantasy titles, if not the best currently in my eyes. Trust me, bro, I've played four of them so I know exactly what I'm talking about.
This game got that old fashioned turn-based good good that just hits the spot. It's so weird to think this was the last Final Fantasy to have that sort of gameplay. Really makes you look at Final Fantasy VII Remake and go, "But why....?" Don't get me wrong, the plot here is borderline unhinged and the characters are their own batch of JRPG annoying. The main character is such an absolute shitter until you realize he's the most relatable character you've ever played in your life. (THANKS DAD.)
Loads of challenges in here for the most naughty and daring, it'll consume your whole life for 3 months, but it is optional so don't do it all if you don't want to.
I always recommend this Final Fantasy first to anyone who's never played the series, it's got the perfect graphics without the old pixel look, that good turn based combat that doesn't exist anymore, a bright colorful aesthetic that's hiding a darker, pretty existentially dreadful plot that would keep someone new completely hooked.
There's something about this one that just gives you all the nostalgia, even when playing it for the first time in 2023. Probably that bangin' soundtrack and all the beachy vibes.
The Sphere Grid is massive but not the worst level up system in the series. However, the mini-games in this game are the worst I've ever played, minus Blitzball. BLITZBALL BAYBEEE, LET'S GOOOOO.
