Pros & Considerations
Story
Clive's long time-span gives the central revenge/liberation conflict room to evolve beyond its opening tragedy
Graphics
Character animation, environments and Eikon spectacle are major presentation strengths
Music
Masayoshi Soken's score is especially effective during Eikon battles and the game's large dramatic turns
◇Consider
Party control: Companion characters are largely AI-controlled rather than functioning as a traditional commandable Final Fantasy party
Side quests: A significant number use basic MMO-like talk/travel/fight structures despite strong world-building payoffs
Time commitment: Long — about 60 hours by the catalogue median
