It is by no means the best RPG ever made, certainly, but it was an RPG that punched far above its weight on the Wii, and was easily one of the best games on that system. I will say it is one of the best RPGs released in the HD era, it's just an all around enjoyable game in terms of plot, characters, gameplay, and of course OST. Unlike later entries I feel it is all around fantastic, with no glaring issues --but numerous small ones.
