Similar to FF7 (with slightly shittier graphics) which fans of politics, philosophy, religion/creation and mecha will like.
The MC doesn't even use any weapons (tho other party members do) and just beats monsters to death with his fucking fists/feet. He even fights with martial arts when using his mecha:
VERY deep story, really delving into philosophy and psychology. Starts off a little "typical" but draws you into the main political plot pretty quick, and you get exploring the world and using the mechas decently quickly too. Some of the supporting chars are a little lacking after their main story points are done, but some are consistently great (Bart, total bro, and a cute redhead female supporting char). Top-tier soundtrack to go with it, too.
The second disc is unfortunately completely unfinished and whizzes through the story elements in a narrative fashion, but it doesn't stop the game as a whole being awesome. I'd LOVE it if they did a re-master (and finished it) but like everything they probably wouldn't be able to help REMAKING it, where they either turn it lame & gay, or fill it with Japanese fever dream elements like the FF7 remakes..
Kinda hard to post much about it without spoilers, but it's an absolutely phenomenal game (if you like 90s squaresoft turn based JRPGs) and I highly rate it, even slightly above FF7/ChronoTrigger, which is saying a lot (for me).
