Definitely worth playing!
Is it any good?
Of course it is!
Let me break it down for you. The graphics are pretty good, i give it a 8.5/10.
There is plenty of voice acting, but sometimes the mouth doesn't in sync with the voices but its not so bad.
The battle system is unique, I'm still kind of confused by it but its definitely something different. From what I noticed, there is a ring system, sort of like Lost Odyssey. A list of triggers come up, telling u to press either A, B, X or Y, and even the RT button. Doing so at the right time makes your attacks stronger, which is pretty good. From what I also understand is that you can multi-task with a lot of characters in battle and sort of control a group of fighters so you would have like 3 here, and 3 there maybe... fighting these group of monsters while the other group fights the other. There isn't really no time bar or anything for an attack you chose to take place instead it is turn based, but it is pretty quick!
There is also a Morale bar on top of the screen everytime you are engaged in a fight. Depending on how many enemies u defeat during battle, and how you planned your attack the bar gets higher in a blue hue which says allies which is you. Your attacks increase as well as speed I believe, this is also a lil nice thing square has added to this game.
Battles are also user-initiated and they are not random which is good! But it is advised to battle as much as possible to level up yourself as well as your magic etc, etc.
Loading times are also ehh, they're so so, but they're not as slow like Losy Odyssey... forget about it lol, but this game I'm sure maybe if you even install the game now with the new x-box experience out onto your hard drive the load times will prob be even cut completely.
Lets see what else, the music is pretty cool I mean I don't know how many people actually care about it but its good, its not boring or anything like that.
This game overall is pretty good, I really like it so far. Keep in mind I have only been playing it for about 2 and a half hours, but so far I am liking it a lot. If your skeptic, rent it I guess, but I think you will be satisfied with the outcome. The game is also 2 discs!
I hope I was helpful by putting up this review... feedback is appreciated.
