   Severely underated. As you can see it seems the critics all dislike this one a lot more than the fans who played it. Best gameplay in fights Severely underated. As you can see it seems the critics all dislike this one a lot more than the fans who played it. Best gameplay in fights of any RPG i've played to date. It was actually interactive instead of simply pressing attack over and over. Gameplay better than any of the Final Fantasy's of its time for sure and the graphics were amazing as well. Voice acting was good, story was good, I cant even think of any complaints here. A must play.… Expand

   This is one of those games that gets mixed reviews from critics but great reviews from users. Where to begin?
   First let me say that I'm notThis is one of those games that gets mixed reviews from critics but great reviews from users. Where to begin?
   First let me say that I'm not an idiot who carelessly gives out 10s. But this game is just so good, it deserves this score. Combat: This is a turn-based game with an innovative combat system. You can have 3 members in your party. When it's your turn, you attack, defend, use items, or transform into Dragoons (more on this later). The attack system is really the innovative part. You time input of the X button as rotating squares align with the center square on screen. If the timing isn't perfect, your combo stops. You keep up the perfect timing until your combo is finished. With every 20 perfect combo you pull off-called "additions"-your addition gets stronger. The perfect timing sounds hard, but it's really not. It just takes a little practice, and seeing your addition play out on screen is always fun. There are anywhere from 3 to 7 additions for each character, and you switch out additions whenever you feel like it. There's plenty to master here with the number of playable characters. You later gain the ability to transform into a Dragoon, a flying warrior capable of performing magical attacks. In this state your attack and defense power increase, and you can level up your Dragoon Level in addition to regular level. You have a threat indicator above you that shows when you'll engage in battle. It increases in threat level as you move around and the screen fades to battle. Some might find this annoying, but I liked having the chance to get stronger.
   Format: You play from a sort of backed-away view. It's third person, but not zoomed in like with Uncharted or Dead Space. You travel from area to area via the world map. Once you know what your objective is, you just go to the right area and go from there.
   Environments: You'll encounter everything under the sun: from underwater settings to expansive deserts. And every place is extremely diverse with its own interactions. In a dragon's lair, you'll climb spiderweb-like strings. On a snowy mountain, you'll slide down slopes. In the desert, you'll get sucked into sand-whirlpools. Then there's of course the cities to visit. Each city has its own feel; you can enter shops, houses, castles, hotels-you name it. The developers were really imaginative with everything. Graphics: Outdated by today's standards, but impressive for its time. You can still make out figures, so it's not too bad. Personally, though, I don't play games for their graphics.
   Story: Very well written. It starts off as a simple rescue-the-damsel-in-distress but evolves into so much more, and I really can't give away too much plot detail. Just know that there are a couple plot twists and that along the way you'll meet new party members that you'll come to know and love. This is one heck of a 4-disc story.
   Quests: There's plenty of things to do to occupy your time. Aside from the main quest, there's a few side quests that include freeing souls, battling an evil wizard, hunting a wolf, and collecting Stardust for items. Then there's even special enemies that drop special items. These are unusual foes you'll encounter on the world map that involve using a different battle strategy.
   Gripes: As I've said, the graphics aren't the best, but put yourself in the year 2000 and they're mind-blowing. Another minor thing is that the voice acting is absolutely dreadful. But take heart, there are maybe 3 scenes in the ENTIRE game that use voice acting.
   Overall: An incredibly awesome experience. It spans the length of 4 discs, is immensely fun to play, and is more than worth the $6 it costs on PSN. Do yourself a favor and play this game.… Expand

Just, must play, get it if you have a playstation of any kind (though preferably not the PS1 version because that'd be expensive.) So, either the PSOne Classics for the PS3/Vita systems and PS4/PS5 if you own one of those. Old school, high fantasy, turn-based on speed (which is static only alterable with equipment).… Expand

It's not a zero, but it certainly is not a ten. Combat is shallow, the story isn't great, and the game design is so simple you would think it is for children who have just learned their colors. Late game relies on Magic as it is broken and most of your characters have no access to it. The combat mechanic is not innovative. It's a time mechanic to do more damage in battle and it looks and performs awfully. Probably due to the limitations of its time. It's an ok game and if you played it as a child it probably has a special place in your heart, but there are hundreds of better RPGs.… Expand
