I am playing through the Steam version of the game right now. Haven't finished it yet. There are three things that somewhat baffle me. The first is how much stuff there is in the game. The game released close to when I was born so I find it impressive how many eras and locations there are in the game. The second being how smoothly the game flows. When one arc ends it is clear where you need to go next just by following the dialogue. Lastly, I love how the game is somewhat scant on dialogue lines but makes good use of the ones that are there. It is an antithesis of MGS3 cutscenes (which I also love).

The combat system is also actually really fun. The bosses make you think about how to approach them. Does the original SNES version have the "active" battle system that the Steam version has? If yes then that's very impressive. I see it as somewhat of a precursor of the battle system in the FFVII remake games.

There's only a couple of main endings. One is just a variant of the other. You keep all your stats when you start a new game, and there's a path opened to the final boss that you can take at pretty much any time. The other endings are based around WHEN you choose to beat the game, rather than how you play the game, as your actions through the game alter the timeline.
