This game is good, but not perfect. There are some better RPGs out there.

I liked this game. And since I played it in 2006 and not in 1997 I'm going to excuse graphics and music as a problem, but they aren't the problems.

Gameplay: The gameplay is good. The Materia system is fun because you can make any character anything you want them to be. The battle system is good, but because of all the Materia and the whole ATB battle system, this game doesn't really require that much strategy. All you have to do basically is summon stuff and cure when your HP is low and that you'll have this game beat in no time.

Graphics: The graphics were pretty good for back then, but I have played a few games from that era and compared to those it's graphics were not the best. They were pretty good though.

Sound: I really liked the music in this game. There were some of those songs that were so awesome. But even though the tune was good, there are still some games with better music from that era.

Value: This game is good for one time through, but after I beat I kind of got bored. There is a lot of explorability, but it's kind of boring since you already saw just about everything on the world map. The ending isn't very good either, and that sort of drew me away.

Tilt: The world map really bugged me. There was no way to know the name of the cities, so I kept getting lost. The controls were kind of messed up too. They were sometimes good, but other times it seemed like the d-pad had shifted the conrols to the left or right a little, if you know what I mean. The story was also confusing. The characters didn't really seem to have as much personality as they should have had. There were a lot of plot twists, but they didn't seem like such a big deal because the characters couldn't really express emotions very well.

Overall: this is a pretty good game overall, but it's overrated. Everyone says this is the best RPG or stuff like that, but it's not. You should only get this if you want to have played all the final fantasies, or have nothing better to do.
