This is the rpg that defined all rpgs. The game features graphics that surpassed anything else at the time of its release. The big thing about this game is story. So if your not willing to spend a lot of time (and I mean a lot of time), then this might not be the game for you. But it pays off if you play through the whole thing, leaving you wanting more. Overall, there's really only one small complaint that I have about this game, and that's its super-deformed characters. Let me explain, whenever you are not in a battle or a full-motion-video (FMV), your character appears as a small, stocky semblance of a human being. Minor gripe, I know, but it needed to be said. Newcomers to the RPG genre will find it easy to pick up (it teaches you everything) and old-school RPers won't be disappointed either. Basically I'm telliing you that if you've got some time and want a story that's gonna make you laugh and cry, then buy this game!
