Yeah it's good. You'd never know it was translated from Japanese from the quality of the localization, and the art style and soundtrack are very Vagrant Story. Which to be fair could be a bad thing to some people, as it's not Final Fantasy. The battle system as well has more in common with Vagrant Story.

It'll keep you occupied for more than a month though. Definitely worth the almost five year wait since a proper (offline, original) Final Fantasy title.

And if you want to throw your life away further, the new Zelda for the Gamecube/Wii is a fine waste of time.

hmm been waiting for this title for a very long time.. completed every other final fantasy there is to 100% other than that piece of shit one they made called final fantasy X2 bigist piece of pish square ever made..

even have the xbox 360 online finalfantasy 11 but need a keyboard but its good ja.. what final fantasy does it most compare to.. and a month worth of gaming to me is quite literally 2weeks.. so tell me it has lots of mini quests secret weapons and end game stupid fuck of ly hard bossis like the weapons from FF7 and FF8 osma from ff9 and the dark aeons and the bos who begins with a P cant remeber his name for the life of me but he appears in the grass place once u kill all the dark aeons .. wanka took me me ages to beat him so much trainning... YEAH I LIKE COMPUTER GAMES.....

None really, gameplay wise it most compares to Vagrant Story. There's a few elements of the setting which were introduced in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. And yes there are plenty of sidequests and optional bosses.

BTW pretty early on in the game you visit a nomad village with dark crystals nearby. Gave me a giggle.

I sweat Square-Enix titles hard and I couldn't get into X-2.

thought 7 and X were decent.

takes me more like a year than a month to complete those fuckers tho.

bottom line is it worth the wong? :|

ok finished dissertation, shitty weather so went and bought it.

already stuck... grand or anyone else help needed please :D

very early in but not right at the beginning. i am in rabanstre and just gone to kill my first mark the tomato. done that, killed a few more wolves for xp, now trying to get back in the city and guards say the gates are shut. what do i do?


also, last ff i played was X, when it was turned based. not sure about this new combat system. does it make a difference how far away i am from my target? will i incur less damage but also cause less damage it i stand furhter away or run around or does it not make a difference?

you've got a thing saying you're out getting supplies for your boss, haven't you? i think you show that to the guard. it's been a while though, i stopped playing it after the disc broke :(

should really get another copy, i only got as far as the sandsea :?

oh, and whoever's asking, get it. it's very, very good.

12 doesnt seem like a real FF the whole team who makes them is well differnt now, and the battle system, summon system etc are like a whole differnt game, like boh peep said Vagrant Story. The acctual story isnt that great eather. if it was me i just play another RPG or just play 7/8 again

Hmm sounds interesting Vagrant Story is probably my second favorite RPG game on the PS, was amazing and pushed levels.

Obviously the best RPG(s) on PS was Suikoden one and two.. (well in my opinion).

Might pick it up if its cheap to have a go haven't sat down and played a RPG since... PS2 first came out haha.

Playing Mr.Driller for a couple of mins is about the most time I can devote to playing video games these days.

They've done two for the GBA now, and they re-released the original Tactics for the PSP with an updated translation, more character classes, and a few other bells and whistles.

(Also LOL at it being a year later and I still haven't finished FFXII.)
