gameplay: the battle system is really different compared to a FF game this one is also a uses a turn-based battle system where the player chooses actions from a menu. The list of actions include many basic commands such as Attack, Items, and Escape
plus something elce a judgement ring, this ring allows you to chain your moves giveing RPGs a brand new twist

judgement ring - a circle with different colored segments and a rotating needle which is stopped by the player's input. When an action is chosen, the Judgment Ring is presented on the screen. Players then have to watch the rotating needle carefully as it rotates and hit the colored segments

story: the story is very long and engageing it follows a young man name yuri some time ago he has lost his lover and made her a grave using his hands and went to a quiet town named Domremy and there his story begins....

sound: the music in this game rocks i can't even tell whats better this or square enix

graphic: the worlds in this game look pretty real and the charecters are just as good

overall: this is a very engageing game that won't cause you to fall asleep while playing to me this is a great transition from final fantasy while keeping the same battle screen, it is very long 2 DVDs + new game+
that allows the player to keep everything they have from the last game
this will keep you going for a long time
5/5
