One of my favorite games of it's generation, so much so that it's one of the few (less than 10) PS2 games I still own and for which I still have a PS2. The scale of the battles is impressive (more than a hundred npc's on the screen at once) which is what makes the combat so much fun. The characters and the story are a bit wacky, but it just adds more fun. It certainly has it's slow moments, but overall is a fantastic game.
