I have played this game so many times in my youth.

I almost literally grew up with Final Fantasy, and that is the kind of inexorable nostalgia that one must take into account when considering the potential universal truths of this particular review.



This is how i see it in simple terms ; if you don't like this game, there is something fundamentally wrong with your soul and i pity this kind of person.



Not because it is a FF and you have to like it because of that alone, that's not what i am saying, yes i am a FF blood-fan, but i am also able to step outside of myself and look at it objectively. And objectively it is a truly heartwrenching beautiful and magical tale of love and friendship with some of the most endearing characters and art you will ever see. This is my personal favourite, while some others cling passionately to VI or VII, this is my heart-game.



While i love most FF games for various reasons this is the one that, for me, has it all. The music is super-addictive and i can play almost all of the pieces on piano, the pre-rendered backgrounds are gorgeous (for their time they were even revolutionary), the characters as i said have so much heart and if you don't feel with them or care about them, as i mentioned above, there must be something wrong with you, seriously. But that's not my problem, you are free to like or dislike whatever you want because you have that privilege, but that doesn't suggest that there is not something wrong with a person who does not respond emotionally to this story.



So yes, this is my fav. FF game of all time and maby even my fav. game of all time. Because when all is said and done, this is the game that truly made me understand what games are capable of.



But it also has to be stated that i have not played it in it's entirety for many many years now, and my love for it comes from the child in me, that is still very much alive, and maby you had to have grown up with it as a kid in order to truly see it for what it really is, maby it's just not for jaded and greedy adults that have lost their inner child...



so i guess i'll summarize like so ; if you have a deep-seated connection with the child inside of you, i can't see why you wouldn't absolutely adore this game.
