While I agree it isn't given enough credit for how important this game was to the genre, I disagree that it was "released before the fanbase accepted it". As someone who waited years after FFX-2 (to say this one, but I'd even say X) waiting for its arrival, the hype was very high at that time and hardcore fanbase surely knew already the type of battle to expect and some details of the story. Surely it was far more adult than recent previous releases which I think it was one of its greatest achievements. I wasn't particularly a fan of the gambit combat system, but the fights still hold highlights by being turned based if you wanted but always flowing inside the same area. The graphics were fantastic and was probably one of the best last releases on PS2, which was an disadvantage for the game I believe. They took years producing such masterpiece and I personally would rather see this in HD rather than X, but this is only my opinion. One of my favorites there in the top only losing to IX
