It has such a low score because I could break it within two hours - completely break it. I had max stat characters and infinite money without exploiting a single bug. After that, I had to refrain from using my amazing exploits so I could have fun with the rest of the game.

The story is pathetically cliché, and apart from the mercenary duo, which I didn't expect, I didn't like the characters very much. It would have been fine if it was like Final Fantasy II, but this is a modern game. Not only was Final Fantasy II more solid in conception, but the story was original at the time!

Even without using my most cheesy exploits, the only battles that gave me any trouble were the post-game battles against the tougher previous bosses. Even the final boss could barely put up a fight against me.
