IcyMourdor is on a distinguished road
*starts word count*

Story:

IMO, this has the best story out of all the FFs. It has its comedical points and then there are times that make you want to get up, dive into the game, and *****-slap that boss.

Characters:

These guys are a great bunch. Each with their own abilities that no one else can have. The main character is Cecil, a dark knight under the King of Baron. The story builds around him. His best friend Kain the dragoon assists Cecil on his quest along with Rosa the W. Mage, Cecil's love interest. Don't worry, I didn't spoil anything yet. I just told you what happens within the first five minutes of the game.

Cid:

In this game, he is the creator the world's airships. He works for King Baron, although he doesn't like how he treats his little "babies". As for whether he plays a major role or not, you'll just have to play to see.

Battle:

This is the only game besides FFT where you can have up to 5 characters at a time. Don't worry about deciding which to choose because the characters in your party depend on where you are in the game. Although you have five characters, it doesn't make the game any easier. It can sometimes hurt if you end up with mostly mages and you want to conserve MP for the upcoming boss.

Music:

One of the best soundtracks around. The music perfectly fits the mood and tone they are trying to set. The regular and boss battle music is the best out of all the FFs.

If there is anything else you'd like to know, I could probably send you a walkthrough of the game just from memory. I know that is kinda pathetic, but hey, I can't help it.

Difficulty Rating: 9.6/10 (PSX version)
7.2 /10 (SNES version)

Overall Rating: 10/10 (Both versions)

CAUTION: All of the above is of the opinion of the self-proclaimed master of FF, Mourdor. Spoilers were not given due to the fact that they were not requested. Do NOT blame him if you do not find your playing experience as enthusiastic as his. Play the game and see for yourself.
