I beat this 100%, I got every achievement, I saw everything there was to see, and my verdict is that this game is basically the definition of mid. Everything about it is mid, I wouldn't recommend it, your money is better spent elsewhere unless there's a really good discount here. The combat in particular though, the animations can take a while and you cant skip them or speed them up, so battles can get long and boring. I really like the character designs and settings, that's my favourite part about the game. But everything is pretty underdeveloped, lots of short isolated stories. There's plenty more to say but my thoughts on everything else is that it is mid.

This is an amazing experience all around. It takes stereotypical JRPG tropes and isn't afraid to play around with them, making each chapter feel unique down to the base level. I definitely liked some of the chapters more than others, and I feel like they could have taken the opportunity when remaking this game to make one of the chapters better in particular (looking at you, Japan).
Still, that chapter's pretty much the only stinker in an otherwise fantastic game. I'd usually tell you to wait for a sale, but I bought this game at full price and have no regrets.

Slept on this game for the longest time, I dropped it originally on the SNES emulator with a fan translation patch and thought the combat was a bit weird. When the remake came out I was pretty hesitant to start playing since I was always iffy with how Square handled their HD2D games, especially with Octopath where the post processing washed out the pixel art on the sprites. It's better here but I wished it was toned down.

Anyway most of the campaigns are short and sweet, and even with the ones I felt bored with there was still an appeal I liked about that said campaign. There are slight hiccups with the game considering it was a SNES era rpg like some points of the game require backtracking, combat is pretty somewhat slow and I can mange it with different battle tracks play depending on campaign, but it does drop off near the end for overstaying its welcome due to random encounters being introduce for the last two acts and the Near Future's act has pacing that's all over the place, but I still heavily enjoyed it for being unique, and if there is an act you're not looking forward to, you can always just put it off and play a different one. If I had to recommend ones to start with, Wild West, Edo Japan, and The Distant Future. There is another act the brings everyone together but it's best I don't spoil much about that as seeing unfold was a wild picturing it in the time it was released in 1994, that's all I leave it as.

If you're a JRPG Fan want something novel to check out I really recommend you give it a try.
