Why I won't play any new Final Fantasy games...
First off, this game would have trouble getting my attention from the get go. Out of all of the Final Fantasies I have ever played, these are the worst character designs ever. The only cool character's were Auron and Lulu. As for character's themselves I didn't find any relation to any of the characters and was uniterested in their plight! The story was fractured and unengaging and the voice work was poor. The game played like most final fantasy games before it, but adding shperes to a grid to unlock powers held no interest to me. I think that the whole process was too time consuming and overly complicated.
