An often
overrated Final Fantasy title. An impressive game for it’
s time, it didn’
t age particularly well. It features a nonsensical, disjointed plot full of silly contrivances galore and it doesn’
t really take off until about Lake Macalania. After that, it begins to get interesting and intense. It has too many villains, all of which aren’
t particularly good and features some pretty horrendous English voice acting and localization that hurt the experience quite a bit. It’s better than
12 and 13 but is a decidedly average, low frills Final Fantasy overall and felt lacking compared to the PS1 games. It had a horrendous gimmicky sequel that undermined the poignant, emotional ending it had.
