CAPOLAVORO.

Poco altro da dire, uno dei videogiochi più famosi e giustamente osannati di tutti i tempi. Introspezione psicologica dei personaggi, trama profonda a livello cinematografico, gameplay vario e funzionale. Più di 100 ore di divertimento. Aggiungo solo: la saga di FF finora è l'unica che è riuscita a farmi versare qualche lacrima.
