I say it's definitely worth getting. The characters all have very good back stories, except for two of them whom I felt were just thrown in the game for the hell of it.
There is also a wide variety of places you can visit. Some of these places include a pile of rubble that houses a six year old girl and her Moogles, a city that is surrounded by a sandstorm, and a town of nobles that is ruled by a family that keep monsters as pets.
I only have one concern about this game: the game seems to get worse as it goes on. I know that sounds weird, but it's true. Disk one was FANTASTIC, disk two was also wonderful, disk three was meh, and disk four was as boring as hell. Anyway...
Oh, and another thing. The very beginning of the game is a bit strange, but gets much, much better once you get past a certain point. The game starts out with you in a dark room in an airship. Once you light the candle in the middle of the room, your friends will burst in, and ask where "the boss" is. All of a sudden, a giant guy with a helmet that makes him look like a dragon bursts through the other door, and there you have your first battle in the game. Once you beat him, you find out he is your boss, a fat man with cat ears named Baku. You will then have a meeting with him discussing how you're going to kidnap someone. You heard me. The main character and his friends are going to perform a play and then kidnap the main female character, Princess Garnet. The whole thing eventually turns into a total disaster, but I'll just leave it at that and say no more. But, what I'm saying is, the
game does get better.
So yes, it's definitely worth getting. But then again, that's just my opinion. I say play the first thirty minutes of it to see if you like it or not, although you'll most likely be hooked and want to play the rest.
