It's not bad if you're into the whole "FFV re-tread" thing (disclaimer: I totally am). It has some spots where you might not be able to get enough levels to take down chapter bosses just through regular gameplay, which can suck if you have the "wrong" characters to be able to reach certain areas to speed through level grinding, and if you want to 100% the achievements, you're in for a bad time because of all the missable shit. Overall, though, it was a good take on retro/SNES-era JRPGs.
The second one feels a lot more "lived in" and does a better job at showing interactions between the characters. It also has a character who is literally out to seize the means of production from a capitalist arch-ghoul. Also a magical murder-hobo.
