What more did we expect?
I was pleasently surprised when not only did they change the gameplay, but they wrote and balanced a new plot. This game has shown excellence in every area, I would enjoy playing it just for the sake of the graphics and mid game movies. Granted it does take a little time figuring out how to do the side games/abilities upgrading/battling, but no where in comparison to the vexing waiste of my life that blitzball consumed. Im sure we all know how lame that game was....... Your father is a giant evil whale thingy! Hate him or love him or something.
I would gladly give this game a 10/10 but I havnt beaten it yet, so its just a 9.2 for now.
