Not to say of course that the game looks bad - far from it. Like FF7, this was one of the best looking RPG's when it came out, due heavily (but not entirely) to its gorgeous cut scenes, spell animations and backgrounds. Eerie, haunting music further add to this engrossing, fully immersive world.

But (also) like FF7, it is the characters themselves that make this one of the, if not the best, RPG (or even overall game) of all time. Your main character is completely flawed, an immortal amnesiac who wakes up on a slab in a mortuary and is fated to walk this world one life after the next with no memory of his "former" selves. Your companions, a disembodied, wise-cracking floating skull with an agenda all his own. A half demon (tiefling) thief, hard-edged and caustic while at the same time passionate and caring. A succubus priestess on a path of redemption and the quirky Nordom, a Modron (Automaton) who breaks his programming, round out the main playable characters of this game.

Begging for, and was even set up for, a sequel - with none forthcoming. This is one of the rare occasions where a game transcends gaming to become a work of art and hopefully, history will view it as such.
