Cons
Con Underwhelming story
The story is largely played for laughs in this oddly comedic Final Fantasy. It isn't done so particularly well, either. Bottom line is, don't play this one for the plot.
Con Too generic
While trying to pay tribute to the great classics in the RPG genre the game itself lacks any feeling of "soul" or personality making for a tale that is just too familiar and obvious.
