Any RPG lover will definatley love this game and adore it and you'll know why in this review.
Story: The game takes place seven years prior to the original PSone classic, Final Fantasy VII, and as you've probably guessed, the game's focus is on 2nd Class SOLDIER Zack Fair.
Concept: And again as you've probably guessed, this is an Action RPG, meaning that it's an RPG, but your able to run around well your in battle, basically you get sent on missions and the farther you progess in the game the more twists and turns the story takes.
Controls: Basically you just use the D-Pad or the analog stick that's under the D-Pad for ofcourse running around, and while your in battle you press the X button to attack and you can use the D-pad for using potions in battle and so on.
Design: If you just looked at the screens of the game you could easily tell that this game has the best graphics and character design's on the PSP better than some I've seen on PS2 RPGs, every mission have very beautiful enivorments and I don't think I've ever played or seen a handheld with such great graphics.
Overall: I wouldn't reccomend this game ONLY if you hate RPGs, I'm not a big fan of RPGs and I loved it, so I think you should probably just give game a chance, and well for you RPG lovers, I'd say it's worth buying a PSP for and even if you didn't like it which I think is impossible by now, there are other RPGs on this system for you to play.
