It's kinda weird because this isn't my first time playing the game either...probably closer to the fourth our fifth (although I've never beat it). I hated on it before for the story compared to 4 and 6, but right now I think I'm having more fun with it than I did with either of those.
I'm still really early on, but the job system kicks ass (like always) and I really dig the characters much more than I thought I did.
