Well worth the wait, Must have for any fans of the series.
the liscence system is great, allowing you to progressively move your character in the direction you want, but not trapping you in a particular path
amazing voice work giving more substance to each character and realism to the game
the combat system is great and feels much smoother than "oh no i got attacked by a monster because i walked through high grass"
the game looks as good as we're ever gonna see in the current gen systems
its final fantasy at its best, just like when VII and X came out.
