This game basically sums itself up in the first thing that you see when playing a new game. A statement from Squaresoft stating "This is a final fantasy game for old and new fans." The game has amazing graphics (Yes they drop frames every so often and I think they could have done better on their hair, but those are not points that I would take away from the game really).
I love this game, from purchasing soundtracks from the previous games to the modern references and everything else that I see. There are TONS of side quest that yes are fairly similar when repeated for certain people, but in an RPG that is to be expected. Also not something i'd take any points away for. All in all this game is a 10 for me. A brilliant mixture of nostalgia and a wonderful gandure scope.
