Zodiac age helps polish the shit out of the terd.

Game has some of the best characters in the series. And the absolute worst and most pointless.

The story and dialog is completely nonsensical rubbish delivered in a hilariously trying way too hard 'proper' fashion, which actually makes it really enjoyable to me. As long as van or whatever her worthless name is that I cant remember dont open their stupid mouths.

Combat is pretty cool, in an 'rpg manager' kind of way.

Gambits need to be ripped off wholesale already. Nowhere near enough games have ripped off gambits. Why? Pride? Fuck your pride Mr. Srawman, I want AI that I can make non idiotic or adjust to particular situations if the need arises.

Level design, as always is where post talent drain ie squaresoft to squeenix fails the hardest.

The game is technically 3d, but it's designed like a 2d game, and functionally, absolutely nothing would be lost in switching to 2d graphics. All levels and areas, from towns to dungeons are composed of simplistic shapes linked together to form a neat design on the map screen, but result in repetitive room after repetitive room in practice.

It's like the entire game is a 3d version of the level design from the new areas in chrono trigger ds. Which basically describes almost every modern squeenix game since the talent drain as well.

In fact chrono trigger ds is a great showcase for the change in design quality from square soft to squeenix, as it's literally side by side in the same game, using the same assets.
