This game was such a step up from FF IX.
As usual, the storyline makes you wonder what the heck is going on through nearly the entire game, but that's okay, the characters are likable, the in-between movies are beautiful, the action is intense, and the ending makes you wonder.
Great combat system with the usual array of weapon and skill upgrades, changing out your group, and lots of hidden treasures and puzzles to help you kick some butt at the end.
Definitely one of the best RPG's ever.
9/10
