I really do believe this game might have had a chance against FFVII all those years back. But because of Sega screwing over it's American consumers, the game never made it stateside. Now that it's in Sony's hands, it's been ported over and now everyone can experience how great this game is. The choppy framerates can be overlooked due to the overall detial of the towns and how fun the games battle system is. The only major fault (although not reall major) is that the music just isn't as epic as other RPGs and the voice acting has wierd pauses inbetween spoken lines. Very wierd. RPG fans should give this game a go. One of the best adventures on the PSX.
