Sigh.
If you like turnbased RPG's, it's pretty awesome. You'll always hear that it's one of the best RPG's for snes, so I'd definitely say it's worth your time.
Besides, it's got like 12 endings. And I think it was one of the first RPGs around to have the "New Game +" feature. It also has some nifty team attacks, during battles. Storyline is neato too.
And perhaps one of the other important reasons as to why it's gotten so much popularity... Akira Toriyama (guy behind Dragonball and Dragonball Z) did the character design. Nobuo Uematsu did the music, and some other chump did the story.
The same team of people have recently teamed up to make a game for the 360, which i'm sure you've heard of, Blue Dragon.
Check them both out.
