This game restored my faith in Square as a publisher and JRPGs as a genre.
You're pretty much meant to detest the protagonist at the start. I think you'll find that your feelings about most of the characters will ebb and flow throughout the game, and at the end, you'll care about all of them. That's one of the things I enjoyed about this game.
I played almost the entire game with top screen on full auto. The customization of how you play and how you level were two of the masterstrokes of this game.
