Ok...  This game is way way way too under-rated!!!  What's wrong with everyone.  I know the graphics are not as good as any later RPG games.  But does that really matter that much?!  he storyline is an absolute kick, too.  I can't believe some people don't like it!  Yeah, it might be a little confusing at first, but as you put yourself in the game, it really gets much better!  The good thing about this game is that you can have many different choices and events going on everytime you play it.  Choose different options the second time you play it and you can get different responses and items!  I'm not gonna say this game is the best b/c everyone has different opinions, but this game is really a great RPG kick!  And all you people who do not agree with me, try to stop comparing this game to all these other new RPGs and the later Final Fantasies that has like perfect graphics and other advanced techs.  View this game as a whole new RPG that you have never heard or thought about, then maybe you will start to appreciate the beauty of it.  This is really a great game, I will never regret buying this RPG!!!
