Very good, enjoyable game. Simple but likeable characters, very pretty art and easy to follow story. VI and VII are definitely deeper games, both gameplay-wise and story-wise, but I found this game's simplicity to be its big strength.

One of the best FF games. This is a solid port with minor updates and quality of life improvements.

What a jump in quality compared to the previous games, this was such a big jump in terms of everything especially story and characters I actually felt connected to the cast and Cecil is quite goated.
