This was the very first rpg I ever played in my life and still my favorite rpg ever. The games graphics were (for the playstation) flawless and the story was engrossing, while the battle and ability system was different enough from other rpgs to make it unique (while some hate it for this I think it was a brilliant idea) Even with the new games on the ps2, xbox, etc this game stills shines through as probably my favorite game of all time, and I have never had a game so thoroughly enjoying before or after this . . . I recommend that everybody play it, as there is something in it for everyone.
