Great once you get the hang of it...
Gameplay - I used to hate the Gambit system but after getting used to it and having the right Gambits and abilities the Gambits can become your best friend in any situation. The only gameplay problem is not enough forms of getting around and I have to walk most places or teleport and then walk some more but this isn't too big of an error.
Graphics - I believe the game fully utilized PS2 hardware to it's extent although some games released before it may have has better graphics this game was in development long before most games with better graphics so it's understandable why it graphics aren't perfect I still love the graphics though the style is great.
Sound - It has lots of normally heard Final Fantasy songs but some of the new songs take some time getting used to since it isn't Nobuo(God) anymore.
Value - Buy this game it'll last much longer then some stupid movie game or sports game that may come out.
