 More like Lost Month April 7, 2008
For someone who still owns a copy of Final Fantasy VII and still plays it from time to time farming power sources and mind sources, this game is absolutely terrific. The game is a Japanese RPG of very traditional roots that are unabashedly paraded through the entire four disc journey. The thing about this game is that it is, truthfully, love it or hate it. Anyone who still remembers 1997 and all the fun they had planning strategies to defeat sephiroth or any other mega boss from any rpg during that time would absolutely love the new look of a classic mechanism. But, for anyone who doesn't look fondly back on those years, you most likely will not like it. The pace is slow, the story is epic, which means lots of reading and cut scenes, just about enough to make an fps enthusiast's head explode in anxiety. I've been playing it for over 80 hours and I'm about to beat the game after doing almost everything humanly possible to do in the game and I love it. I'll start playing the game and all of a sudden it'll be 2 in the morning. It's addictive and the fight system is unobtrusive. The only problem that I have about it is that the frame rate will occasionally slow down during transitions between fighting and not fighting and that not all of the sequences are voice acted. Overall, it's a fantastic game for anyone who like's traditional Japanese RPG's. Even if you're curious about the game, give it a try, the story alone is worth the money.
5 Stars! April 6, 2008
This game delivers if your a fan of previous installments of the Final Fantasy series. I Won't say much as there are some great reviews already, but if you liked the turn based fighting, strategic character skill development, and cinematic storytelling of Final Fantasy you will like this game as well.
Great RPG! April 5, 2008
A great old school RPG with great graphics and even better story! I would say if you liked the old Final fantasy games this is a must buy!
 Major problems for me, an early opinion March 28, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
first i'd like to say that i still gave it FOUR stars so please don't take my negatives with too much weight: I hate to bash a game that we-rgp-fans so highly anticipated, but here are my major flaws with the game, I'll admit I've only partially played so far:
1. Very much like Blue Dragon as far as game play (ooo, they added the ring system and made the battles a little more interactive (which also personally i don't really care for). Everthing else from ring accessorizing, to gaining SP, to how you learn spells/buy spells, to checking every nook and cranny for hidden items (thank god no more 'nothings', to level up are the same as BD.
2. Loading times are ridiculous, each and every battle you will experience a wait for loading, plus of course any cut scenes or location changes and anywhere else i've forgotten to mention
3. Random battles are back! argh!
4. Maybe its my older TV, but the camera angles/view are horrible.
5. BIGGEST CON: If you've play it or read about it, you know its about a man, Kaim, who is an immortal who has lost his memories and he slowly starts to recover them in the form of DREAMS! I love cut scenes and cgi effects, however, these so-called-dreams, aren't wonderful cut scenes, but PAGES AND PAGES of paragraphs and paragraphs of words. It really takes my patience to the limit. I don't understand why they would have these 'dreams' not as video but as soooooo manyyyyy words!
6. They've put a limit on how many times you can level up in an area. Meaning: if you like to level up extra in some places anywhere, they've put a cap on it so that if you've fought their limit of say 15 battles in that area, on the 16th battle you won't earn any experience anymore. I can see where they are trying to keep the game hard and challenging, but leave that to the player, don't put in limits and capping - are we TEN years old?!
PROS:
1. Let me think... its beautiful and interesting and fun to play (which very frustrating at times) and suck-you-in plot.
2. The cons listed above aren't enough for me to stop playing, but i have considered it... lol!
3. The game does have a level of challengingness that I can appreciate, especailly after how super easy BD was.
Hope you like reading March 23, 2008
Great gameplay and graphics but when you(the main character) dream you have to read at least 10 pages of text. And their is quite a few dream per imortal character. I've seen at least 15 dreams and I just started disk 2.
