This is by far the most difficult RPG I've ever played. When I first got started in the game I'm thinking so this is just a bunch of radicals trying to stop another form of pollution. Next thing I know I'm having to go after a maniac who is wanting to use the planet has a vessel and become a god. How did it go from fighting to stop pollution to having to save the world from a dude who thinks his mom is some sort of alien that looks like something straight out of a horror movie? Let me just say the biggest shock for me was finding out the sources for magic came straight from the life blood of the planet itself. I think the strangest thing in the game was finding out Cloud's memories were actually the memories of another guy named Zack. The most awesome thing in the game in my opinion were the summons my favorites were the Leviathan, the Phoenix, Bahamut, Neo Bahamut, and Zero Bahamut. Let me tell you I nearly failed every time trying get all of the ultimate weapons and final limit breaks it was stressful. I like some of the characters in the game like Barret who acts tough all the time when he is just hiding his soft side that only his daughter sees or Red XII who wants to become the next leader of his village I'm glad he found out the truth about his father in this game but hated at how difficult it was to do so I mean I died twenty times just to find out!!! The characters I hated were of course Rufus for starters I mean when they introduce him he finds out his father is killed and he is not the least bit sad about it if anything he seems a bit happy about it. Scarlet that "censor" just got on my everlasting nerve with her attitude I mean laughing all the time it's annoying. What I found to be complete bologna was Weapon and I mean all 3 if I did not miscount. I can understand their purpose in the game but when they first show them their in ice and they are aware of their surroundings that should be impossible if they were frozen in ice. The one that I hated the most was Ultimate Weapon or as I like to call him the Bahamut wannabe. I mean really the thing is just nearly unstoppable then you decide to make it look like one of the most famous summons in Final Fantasy history what gives. Not only that it's nearly impossible to find the thing so you can fight him and hopefully beat him and get Clouds ultimate weapon. The boss fight is the hardest one I have ever gone through I'm thinking to myself the whole time why won't you just die and stay dead you pain in the neck. All in all this is a really good game and I would recommend it to any one looking for a challenge.
