Description

It's the penultimate entry for 2001 and it's a BIG OL' DOOZY. We've got a long JRPG for this week and Matt is trapped in the dadlands, so we had to call in fellow JRPG lover Sun Sanders to help Hunter make sense of this game's legacy. Where does it rank amongst Final Fantasies? Where does it rank amongst 2001 games? Where does it rank amongst 73 seemingly random games? Well I hope you'll stick around and find out.
