Honestly, this was a solid FF game -- but the complaints others have noted of its lacking in certain areas are quite valid. But the storyline is amazing.
7.5/10 from me on the 10 scale. 3.5 stars on the 5 stars scale.
Probably what I would have ended up playing if I were born in the 70s. Thankfully, I was born before the end of the 2nd millennium and not the middle of the 20th century.
