The story was a tale of a soldier trying to find himself, it had major influential plot points that other games to this day strive for. The character development made you attached to the characters and with the new polygonal models allowed for more ways for characters to express themselves. The combat introduced a materia system which allowed characters to have different combination's for interesting move sets, and new visuals for summons.
