Doesn't really live up to it's hype, but it is definantly worth a buy. The story is great, just as any other Final Fantasy game. One good thing about this game is that the characters seem to be deeper and more emotion-based. The graphics are acceptable and the soundtrack is another hit. The world is beautiful and actually fun to explore. The bad side of exploring the world is that there are too many random battles, but there needs to be because leveling up on this game is difficult. The most dreadful part about this game is the battle system. Drawing magic from enemies can get very annoying and tedious. This is a good RPG and an overall wonderful game. I recommend it.
