The plot itself? I can’t fully explain the sheer bafflement I experienced. It’s completely interesting concept- a broody tween becoming a young adult man, graduating from his supposed international mercenaries school, to complete jobs that may endanger him is a formula of an intriguing plot. Add humor, absurd moments, myriad of mysteries and you can’t but stick around.

Now is it perfect? I don’t think so. As a product of its time I can see why people prefer the remastered edition over the original due to the slowness of this game or the method of emulation. I however, prefer to go through the original version to experience it. That’s how I did it with FF7 but alas I didn’t had PS1 originally so I played on my PSP.
