I love final fantasy but this is definitely the worst one. It isn't terrible but there are a lot of flaws. Squall is a good character, the music is amazing, and the card mini game is fun but everything else is lacking in some way or another.

My favourite Final Fantasy game!. Learn some about the battle system and level up your GF's abilities with some AP experience, now enjoy the game. The card minigame is very addictive.

Yuck, one of my least favorite final fantasy.

weaker than its fellow golden age final fantasy games due to the junction system disincentivising use of magic and making the battles extremely repetitve even by jrpg standards, but still one of the best jrpgs overall thanks to the timeless soundtrack, charming writing and characters, and an absence of the cringeworthy voice acting you find in modern jrpgs. story hopelessly derails itself midway like in every final fantasy game. worth adding to your library.
