This game was released originally over a decade ago, for the Snes, and re-launched again for the PSX years after, this was the last Final Fantasy game that should appear for a Nintendo consoloe on a long time, as it market the end of an Era and the prelude to another, the battle system, althought considered primitive in comparison to the that of the new releases is still one of the most peculiar ones ever, as it includes chargue up atacks, combos along with many other things, not to say the enourmous variety of atacks, spells, summons and items avaible, the skill inheritance system is also one of the most easy ones to learn and less difficult to master without being considered "simple" and the variety of items that can be equiped to each character is very hard, the game contains more than a dozen playable characters, each one with a story to tell, as each one of them have a great background with makes this game´s story a masterpiece, not to say that the main plot itself is something magnificent, as the game also counts with countless places and scenarios to see, around nearly 60 hours of gameplay.
This is considered by the fans as one of the most important Final Fantasy games ever, it has a lot of significance along old school RPG players, and on my personal opinions, can be taken as one of the best RPG´s ever made. |
