Honestly one of the best RPGs ever made. If you mod it for better assets and less jankiness, it's probably THE best.

It's got compelling quests, story and characters, all with excellent presentation, but the gameplay loop and the open world are acutely boring. Exploration feels cumbersome while fighting is generally same throughout, hardly changing with the progression of levels or story. I understand why it's a beloved game by many, but it's hard to call it masterpiece. Perhaps, it would've worked better as a tighter world, a set of smaller locations, and focused experiences.
