Quite simply, my all time favorite game ever. Gets re-re-release via Gameboy Advance today (this week?).
This game delivered on all fronts like no other. The "timeless" graphics where some of the best, the art direction was amazing, the story was a mixture of disturbing gothic drama mixed with magic, opera, steam punk, and a bad ass ninja, a samurai that gets to speak to his dead family on a train heading to the after life, oh yes and the white furry creatures known as moogles (see my gamercard). The incredibly evil villan known as Kefka actually managed to destroy the world and become a god, and thats just the first third of the game. Add in the amazingly long ending (15 mins?), wonderful soundtrack, and tons of Hidden Secrets to find, and you have the perfect game for me back in High School when I got suspended for a week right when I got the game. Best week ever.
I wish I had my Gameboy player(and cube).
Here is the amazing CGI opening developed for the PS1 remake.
