The graphics and animation are absolutely gorgeous. This is my favorite Final Fantasy! It excels in every area. Although there are plenty of fans (like me) who insist the older Final Fantasy's are better than the new ones (and it makes us sound old while we're at it!) especially since they've moved on to action/RPG and are no longer traditional turn-based RPG. When people talk about RPGs, they talk about Final Fantasy. There's no question about Final Fantasy's popularity. In some games they gain abilities by equipping specials items (Esper shards in Final Fantasy VI). In some games you can choose the job class (Final Fantasy 5, Final Fantasy Tactics). Usually characters have a predefined job class. Jobs such as thief, black mage, summoner, knight, and more. Character abilities revolve around a job system that gives them a specific assortment of attacks and magic. Up until Final Fantasy X, each sequel was an entirely new game with a completely different battle system and a whole new set of characters. Every Final Fantasy has beautiful graphics, dazzling animation, awesome battles, a superb soundtrack, lovable characters, and an engaging story. With every release, Squaresoft Square Enix takes Final Fantasy to the next level and raises the bar in what people expect in an RPG. The Final Fantasy series needs no introduction.
