Finished playing this game on Rebirth's launch date. And I'm glad that after 27 years, I was not spoiled -- even once -- by the plot of the story. A landmark JRPG experience, indeed.

I must say that the 3D polygon graphics aged rather poorly, but I got used to it after a couple of hours. The combat system was okay; it was straightforward, though unlocking limit breaks was somehow rewarding. The amount of mini-games of this one was surprisingly quite plenty for an FF game. It can be either engaging or frustrating at times.

Lastly, being able to play this on Nintendo Switch made the experience more accessible for me. The 3x speed and disabling encounters on demand helped in refining my playthrough.
