Title: Too much work to be a game.
Product review: Played FF III(SNES), VII(PS1), X and XII(PS2). This is just plain too much work - and combining things without the least guidance is merely chance. the aprts are too abstract to understand why this goes with that, etc. And the boss battles are very unforgiving and leave you very frustrated. Die and restart until you figure out what you have to do differently to beat them. I still have no idea why I was able to beat the 2 Sisters! But I did, after 2 nights and 8 tries. And there are TOO many cut scenes. I feel like when I am just getting into the groove of the battle system, it stops and forces me to watch a cut scene...then go READ THE INCLUDED ENCYCLOPEDIA. READ! I will buy a book if I want to read - and I felt I had to read the stuff just to comprehend the convoluted story.Waited to buy and when I did, felt like I wasted my money. I was actually hurt that Square-Enix let me down. Played for over 12 hours and feel like I will not play it again.
