I don't personally think this game is bad and honestly the cast of characters and their designs are some of the things I love about it. The sort of futuristic world this is set in is also some peak fiction ngl, from the different shops and their unique introductions you can access to the crystarium system's animations and presentation. This game honestly looks amazing for it being released in '09. I will admit though that its flaws are that you change party members a lot during the beginning and middle sections of the game due to how the story wants to pace itself and how to characters seem to be always grouped in duos or trios and some boss designs are horrible as some can do a devastating attack that can just sweep your party away ( and I was for the most part just above a few more attributes than what is to be expected when fighting only because I grinded every now and then) Another flaw could also be that you can't run from battle which sucks because well sometimes I don't want to fight a specific enemy that I know will take maybe a good 3 and a half mins to kill.

For the performance, I'd HIGHLY recommend downloading fixes by referring to the game's page on PCGamingWiki.com and also a steam guide to ensure you have everything PROPERLY downloaded AND set up because this game can be a menace of crashing. The fix offers borderless window which is done by going into the ini file of the mod and switching it on with replacing a value.

For Soundtrack, its honestly one of my favorites out there, not as good as FFXIII-2's soundtrack, but still very peak I might say...

8.0/10 <3
