This was the definite entry on the original series, working on many aspects that gave problems on previous titles. It felt like a solid RPG at that point and the anime-style cutscenes were the icing on the cake. This game made me care about every character featured given that it gave each their own respective time allotted within its storyline and none of them were too annoying, not even Raja. I enjoyed the lore of having native characters from each planet join the party at some point as well, and the shout-out to previous titles before it. It is a definite RPG overall.
