I began playing this game just a short time ago. Wow, this game is good. It may start of a little slow, but as you get more into the story, the game gets better. Gameplay wise, it's not as good as FFX, but it's good anyways. Even for a Playstation, I was amazed by the combined mixture of the CG movies and the polygons. The music is also pretty good and matches the mood of each scene. i am still curretly playing it, so it would be a while till i finish. The game is very nice and long. I was expecting it to be a little over 30 hrs, but I just started the 3rd CD and i'm just at 30 hrs. I may be very late to review this game, but i had to get my thoughts out.
