This game is pretty good, and is very different from previous Final Fantasies.  The equipment system from previous games is almost completely gone, and has been dwarfed by the new magic and summon systems.  It's tricky (and somewhat difficult) when you first start out, but it gets easier.  The storyline can be a bit confusing though, which can take away from the fun.  Some features are missing from the PSOne version too which also takes away from the fun, but a cheat device can easily fix that problem.  It's still fun though, despite its shortcomings.
