A damn fine PS1 era JRPG. A fantasy game with a bunch of cool sci fi stuff thrown in to give the story a galaxy size threat. Rich worlds to explore, likeable characters, and expands on everything that made the first game good. There's deep relationship and crafting systems for those interested, but you can get by without them. Loads of replay value due to the two-sided story, and the exponentially difficult Universe mode. My only issue with this game is that there were multiple instances where I had to find out that a boss was supposed to beat us AFTER I poured a lot of time and resources into it, which became very frustrating after a while. Overall though, I can see why this is some people's favorite.
