[Neo Necron]

The game is underrated, which upsets me, as I love it. My fav all time FF, and the one which got me into the series.

The junctioning system is probably what put off alot of people. Admittedly, it WAS complicated, but once you sit town and take the time to work it out, it's simple, and not that much different from equipping armour to boost stats as you may do in an old school FF. Only difference here is that you're equipping magic or GFs as opposed to armour.

Yes the talking could be long, but the majority of it was good. Sometimes is dragged out, but a lot of the talking did have relevance to the main plot. Only tiem you can really find it boring is if you're plaing through for more than your first time.
Still, I've beaten the game four times now, and I can still sit through the dialogue and cutscenes nice and easily
Fair enough, there are some scenes that make me think "Egh, this bit again..." but hey, that happens.
