I didn't like the game at first because I thought it was too slow-paced, but I'm really starting to enjoy it. The only REAL complaint is that it's so damn complex that it's extremely off-putting at the start. The job system is complex. The skill system is even more complex. The battle machincs even more complex yet
If you want to hit someone with a projectile attack, you better make sure everyone else is out of the way. If you are careless and let a character die and don't revive him right away, he's gone FOREVER, even if you've spent the whole game leveling him up. the game is deep. Much much deeper than most.
If you have the time and are a fan of traditional RPGs, I suggest trying it out. It might just broaden your horizons. Besides, it can be found for likr $15 on the PS1, so you can hardly go wrong.
