I have had this game for many years and to this day I still play it from start to finish. I have played Final Fantasy games in the past. I don't believe any one of them match up to this. I'm talking about the value of the entertainment. Super Mario RPG has no dull moments like Final Fantasy which are long and boring almost to the point of not knowing what to do next. Super Mario RPG gave me reasons to keep on playing it such as leveling up, learning new abilities, having 4 other characters on my team that have never fought on Mario's side to save the world. For the first time in Mario's long storied career teams up with his arch nemesis Bowser.
