It's my favorite FF along with FF VII. So yeah, I think you should play it. If its the Steam version, make sure you get the original Playstation music files.
It's such a different FF, a great one at that. Different, interesting mechanisms. It's true the Draw system can be bad because it requires long battles getting all the magic, and using magic basically means you are sacrificing your stats. Worse, the magic isn't even that strong to justify it. Thinking about it, all my battles were basically attacking, limits and using GFs. But is that bad? No, I was able to be level 100 at CD 1 with 9999 HP and super stats because the monsters and the magic you can draw from there levels up with you. The game becomes harder with high levels and compared to other FFs that are way too easy, is a good thing. But you can play it in a normal way, using magic and stuff.
It's a great FF, it also has some of the best bosses in all the series.
