Its plot kinda falls apart after disk 1, the characters that aren't Squall or Rinoa get absolutely no screen time, story arc, or importance, Seifer felt pretty underused for supposedly being Squall's rival, Laguna and co felt underused (apparently Laguna was supposed to be more of a secondary protagonist parallel to Squall but his role was reduced), the villain has no direct presence until the very end and her plan is kinda moronic as the only reason you can confront and defeat her is specifically because she initiated Time Compression and the game play has lots and lots of flaws. Though stat scaling was kinda funny in hindsight, as in around a decade or a half we'd have games like Oblivion.

It also had the somewhat unforgivable plot point that everyone but Rinoa grew up in the same orphange but forgot because of something that's only affected gameplay before that point (GFs).

Though on the bright side, the OST is great, I love the gorgeous highly-detailed pre-rendered backgrounds and city design, and I absolutely love the whole world design and the whole world is wonderfully mellow and beautiful and was interesting more or less completely modern (albeit a period piece of the late '90s). Plot had its highlights like the end of disk 1 sequence and Squall's bridge scene.

Absolutely some of my favorite world design in a video game to date, just to emphasize again.

We were thinking of naming the baby Ellipsis, but it seemed so...typographical.
