Played it close to release. This could have been the best Final Fantasy ever. I love the setting, characters, their friendship and the whole road-trip character of the story. It just wasn't finished. Huge gaps in the story unfortunately, major plot points get narrated in loading screen texts and key characters only have a few minutes of screen time and it's obvious that more just didn't make it into the game. Unfortunate. I hope Square revisits this game one day with a remake.
