Don't know why I waited so long to play this one!

This game is turn-based gameplay at it's best, with a great story. I liked it better than FFXII to be honest, because of the better story, character design, world design. Great for those who like to grind and equally for those who don't, as each new area levels you up during battle relatively quickly so the BOSS battle at the end of the area is do-able. At later points in the game you can go to extra area's that will let you max your levels at 99 for your immortals (mortals max out in the 70's and aren't really needed to be any higher).

All of the achievements are possible, but can be a lot of work. My personal un-favorite is the "get all treasures/items/weapons/whatever in the game" chievo, as it's pretty easy to miss one thing somewhere. LO is relatively forgiving in this area, as you can buy at auction anything that you missed in areas that are no longer accessible. This is great! Unfortunately, I missed something in an area that I could return to, so I didn't get that last achievement. 100+ hours already in, I didn't want to spend more times searching.

The game's 'dreams' are a definite plus. Very well written, they give you a glimpse of backstory that you would not have otherwise. They are skip-able, but don't do it.

All in all, it's a great gaming experience for the RPGer on the 360.
