I first played this game when I was 13 years old. I fell in love with the game, it was fun to play and actually involved strategy. I couldn't really understand the story at that age but now that I've played it again I fully understand it and appreciate how brilliant it is! The gameplay is like the early Final Fantasy games, turn based, however this game was played on a field rather than on a line like the other Final Fantasy games. You select your group and move across the field to get near enough to the enemy soldiers to strike. The gameplay is so fun and addicting, and with so much variation to the actions you can do in battle makes every fight different and fun. Now what I love most about this game is the story! The story is just very elaborate and well thought out, there is character development with the protagonists and even some of the antagonists. There are lots of twists in the story and there is just more than enough good things to say about the story.
