I like this game! I first played it when i was in highschool and I become addicted to it. It is one the most best and memorable game I ever played. Although not as good as FFVII in terms of storyline, but I like the love team Squall/Rinoa loveteam. Other aspects of the game will really turn you on to play it.

I like the music of this game, it feels like you are watching a opera drama, especially the opening theme and the "Eyes on Me". Another thing notable in this game is that it uses Junction System for powering up the Characters, unlike any other FFs that uses Equipment, only one equipment is available and that is the unique weapon each character may wield (Squall: Gun Blade, Quistis: Whip). You can power up your stats from magic that you draw from monsters, and if your tired of doing so you can use refine magic fromitems that you get from items. Another notable feature of this game is the GFs or Guardian Forces, you can junction GF's in any character, cool cinematics. Every GF has a unique skill or abilities like Battle Skills (Leviathan: Recover, Ifrit: Madrush). Playing and Collecting Cards is also entertaining if your tired of level up your game. The ending is good, cinematics and sountrack.

What i dont like about this game is that it is relatively easy compare to other FFs. What is really challenging about this game is fighting Omega Weapon and a little of fighting Ultemecia (Final Form).

All in all i recommend this game, especially those who have played FFVII and those who likes playing classic FFs.
