I loved this game so much. I bought it about a year ago because I needed a new game and I wanted to try out the Final Fantasy series. The opening cut scene pulled me in immediatly. From there I loved every peice of it. The story was excellent because it seemed to depart from the series. The graphics are well....PS1 graphics so you can't expect 360 graphics here. The cut scenes however look like high end PS2 graphics. The only real problem was you summon alot. This normally isn't bad but the summon scenes are rather long compared to other games. Also if you dont like summoning you have to play around with the junctioning before your normal attacks become powerful. I got about 55 hours out of this game and thats not including side quests. The lurning curve is about 30 min. to an hour depending on your ability to leaarn the junctioning system. If you havn't, play this game. If you have, play it again. Its worth it each time.
