Goddamn I love this game.  It's not even that good, but I'm so in love with it.  Just let me say: Phenomenal soundtrack.  This music is goddamn incredible.  I bought the soundtrack separately because it's so good.  Other than that, classic Final Fantasy with some new twists.  Junction system is fun but can be boring if you're trying to beef up your characters.  Monster-level scaling makes leveling up pointless, so you are forced into the boring draw system to get good junctions.  Other than that, the gameplay is fun, the story is pretty good up until Disc 3.  The story isn't so bad on Disc 3, but there is much less fighting and a lot of talking.  And then Disc 4 s*** just goes haywire and nothing makes sense really and everything is cheesy and weird.  Still super fun to play throughout and the music, like I said, is always incredible.  Definitely worth a play if you are a Final Fantasy fan.  I've played through the whole game upwards of 5 times and enjoyed it each time.
