I bought the game when it first came out, but I just beat it recently. The reason why I never got around to finishing it before was because I found the game somewhat boring and totally different from the previous PS1 Final Fantasy games.

Still, I gave it another chance and I came to appreciate a lot of the things that Square did with it. There’s a lot in the game to keep you busy (I didn’t finish all of the side stuff), and it’s incredibly difficult if you’re one of those people who just has to get everything.

At the same time, there are better games in the series (IV, VI, VII), so if you haven’t played them, I’d say go for the those.
