Ok, I have to say, this is my favourite Final Fantasy Game, even though many would disagree, I loved it so much.. well here it is : Well, In terms of in - game graphics.. this is a big step forward for the Square team, and as in the previous game's this has equally brilliant Cutscene's which are SO realistic and well... Superb, really. The Fighting engine, is the same as ever.. classic Final fantasy.. but with even more weapons, spells, Items and more interesting summons (Magical beasts, with great magical strength and powers, that you find as you progress through the game) than ever before!! It quite Honestly, RULES!! Again, the storyline is really brilliant, it twists and turns, and then you end up somewhere, that you wouldn't expect... the Character's are so colourful and funny... such as my favourite.. Zell, the wild spiky haired, rebel, but with a good heart. You play Squall Lionheart, a dark, mystery of a man, who slowly finds himself and discovers, all he forgot.. from his childhood, to his heart... This game ROCKS, just buy it.. 'Nuff Said.
