Last of the giants. RPGs really fell off after this one, so much so that I don't even play them anymore.
The grafical representations of the characters are so simple that it's almost like reading a book in this regard because your own imagination must compensate for what's missing. This also applies to the voices.
The gameplay is superb although I'd wish that the high frequency of easy random battles were replaced by more difficult ones.
Every character has different abilities which you have to select carefully for branching storylines. And by the end, the characters can be customized thoroughly.
I wish there woulda been a difficulty setting. It coulda been more challenging at times.
