...like I've said many a time...bad regional artwork...

The simplest word to explain this game is...wow! For a Final Fantasy to have so much depth and great battles (turn base beats FF12's system any day) this is the best FF on PS2.

The characters work together so well and the summonings (AKA aeons, GF's, Eidolons, Espers etc...) are the best to be in a game because not only can you level them up, but you can actually choose what they do such as doing a regular attack instead of doing one massive attack and disappearing to there little summoning paradise. The levelling up system is also very good and is known as the sphere grid system. Although most characters have their own parameters and limited to learning specific abilities for masters you can teach one character every ability under the sun (except summoning which is restricted to one character) and you can switch between characters during battle. THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES!!!

Some people have said that the side quests are a down side to the game. I disagree completely, although there is no exact plot based storyline there are many things to do (some of the secret bosses are so hard you'll spend hours training until you can take off 99,999 in every hit...I know that's 90,000 more than usual you can take off isn't that great?) as well as many secret collecting quests and one of the most addictive mini game ever (ever heard of blitz ball?) where you buy and transfer players to great the ultimate underwater ball masters.

Now I know, I know these games aren't as great as the PSone titles, but this game is definetely worth getting if you have money and a weirdly large amount of spare time.
