it was alright, i see why it became a beloved iconic game though it didn't click with me too well even though i enjoyed characters like Vincent and Cloud

sprites/anims were all p much as perfect as you can get for PS1 game, it's def a bit different atmosphere-wise from the trilogy e.g. world map instead of overworld but it's v good, the cast all have their part esp Nina, cool mechanics if kinda tedious but good

i wanted to like this game more than i do, dragon system is peak but it often locked progression behind long minigame stuff that drags on forever. part 1 was v boring & while the final stretch was p good it's a lot of mediocre with a good here & there
