Played it recently and it's honestly not that great. The AAA bullshit it so annoying to deal with and so hilariously unbalanced in enemies' favor, the way the bonus gauge works is dumb as hell, combat just feels really basic, and Sphere 211 is one of the most tedious and boring post-game dungeons ever created. Item creation was kinda neat but was such a pain in the ass for refining or creating certain things.
