This is a fine game. I didn't think it was as good as so many hail it to be. Having played a lot of SRPGs this is on the lower end for me. Wasn't a fan of the game balance or how much the game wants you to grind to level different classes. Biggest negative is that you're locked to 5 units per map- with the maps being pretty small (and I thought generally uninteresting/samey, especially compared to other SRPGs like Tactics Ogre or Fire Emblem). Some might not find that to be an issue, I just didn't like the scale of it and felt like it overly limited party composition. The story's pretty decent and is well voice acted. The music is fine but didn't come close to wowing me like many Final Fantasy games do. This is a remake/remaster of the original and I thought it was really cool that they include the original version in this one.
