Well The graphics are really good, I think the finest from a FF game... Apart from the character design outside of an FMV Vaan just looks terrible!!!
The licence board was ok for the most part, I mean it could have been a LOT better than what it was!!! I mean you have to buy a icence and the spell or equipment ontop of that!!! It should just be one or the other!!!
The storyline, well this is none existent!!! Who is the main character? Vaan or Ashe? I mean Vaan is supposed to be the main male and Ashe the main female? Like all the others? So why is Vaan totally neglected?
Battle system, what is right with this? Nothing!!! The game practically plays itself! There are battles such as Boss Battles where you have to intervene yourself but this is a total yawnfest!!!! *yawns*
Espers, ok so no summons they are back to Espers like on FFVI, but wait why are the summons we know and love now something totally different? These Espers just plain suck they get you killed quicker than an enemy!!!
This has to be my least favourite FF game and unlike FFVIII I never even finished this game, I just got so bored!!! And The enemies were just ridiculous.
I do, however, love what they have done with the Quickenings! These are awesome and a brilliant way to boost the damage!!! But the bad far outweighs the good on this one I'm afraid. It took about 5 years to make and this is what we get? Lets hope XIII is better!!! They need to focus more on the storyline and the characters as well as the graphics! Graphics are NOT the be all and end all of video gaming!!! They need characters that are not stick in the muds... Which is exactly what these characters are... A bunch of stick in the muds.
