This game is severly underated, this game is the only game that pulled of the romance beetween the hero and the chick he digs, this game had the best architectual design of any game ever made, have a look at balamb garden, thats poetry in motion that. This game begins with a Teen named squall, probably the best main character of all the final fantasy(Yep cooler than cloud) he travels in a school, that he got sent to from an orphanage, balamb gardens the school, he meets many friends which join you, the story plot is genious, placed perfectly, also the characters have more personality than any other game, Zell for example, doesnt try to be cool, hes just an average teenager. The battle system adds new ways of fighting to get you more involved, also the draw system was good, you would have a limited amount of magic to make it that bit more challenging, also this game held nothing back, if it wanted to shock you it will, it wouldnt have boundaries of emotion or anythin, this game seems to be hated as a final fantasy but in my opinion its one of the best, next to ff7, this game seriously is legendary and may change your perspective in life, i highly recommened checkin this out
