This game was a huge disappointment. I am a fan of the Final Fantasy series, but this game just flat sucks. The gameplay is reduced to hitting x as fast as you can and occasionally changing paradigms with L1. I never thought a Final Fantasy game could be classified as a button masher, but this one is. The gameplay is too linear. There is very little variety. There are no towns or npcs to interact with. Overall this game disappoints in every aspect except graphics. I would not recommend this game to anyone. I liked FF12 on the PS2 better than this game.
