Of the three Final Fantasy Legend games, I definitely like this one the most. It makes some sort of cool changes to the character types from the previous games and the story and worlds are a bit more interesting.
Your characters are specific people in this game, which is a departure from the first two. The plot centers around your group being sent from the future to avert a disaster. Much of the game centers around upgrading your time/space ship by traveling to different worlds and solving problems. I really like how your ship gains functionality as the game progresses. It is a believable, seamless way to give you different movement abilities as you advance through the game.
The plot itself is cool and some of the time traveling stuff is interesting and unique.
Though you control specific characters, you still have full control over what type of creature they become over the course of the game. Enemies drop parts or meat which you can "install" into or feed to a character, moving them more towards Robot on one end of the spectrum and Monster on the other (with humans and mutants in the middle). This is interesting, but extremely convoluted and it is very easy to accidentally transform a character you don't want to.
I had a better time with Final Fantasy Legend 3 than I did with the first two. It plays a bit better and the events make just a bit more sense. Combat is still very simple and repetitive, but the more involved character customization and more interesting guest characters make it more tolerable.
If you want to play a very early game boy SaGa game, this is the one to pick!
