First impressions can fool anyone. (Me included)
First I gave an amazing score, comparing it to FF7 (How could I!?). The game was fun at first, I liked the fighting, running around, acquiring skills, etc. The combat was awesome at first but then came that damned feeling: "I'm sure I've done this before".
Later in the game you find that:
-Skills are recycled, a lot. For instance, if you have an awesome skill named "A" and then a skill called "B", and later "C", all of a sudden your skills are "A+B", "B+C", etc. The lazy animations are recycled a LOT.
-Quests are repeated. In certaing moment, you realize that this was the same quest you beat in another town, but with other name.
-First time you beat a boss, it's all exciting, but then you go to another town, and, surprise, repetition comes in; you must beat another boss but to destroy the exact same-looking "seed" you destroyed in the other town.
This game is all about first impressions, and I felt for that; I thought that the game was awesome, but later got sick of it.
