Rate it for a Final Fantasy game... or rate it for an RPG in general?
As an RPG in general, I'd give it an 8/10. Like if I was reviewing it back then.
Intersetingly it scored as low as 75 on metacritic.
As a Final Fantasy game i'd rate it a 6/10. Mostly based on how broken FF2 was... it's really my second least favorite FF game... but FF2 was just broken.
At least FF8 had Triple Triad.
