Of all my games, this is by far my favorite

Though it isn't a very complicated game, this is my favorite game out of all the games I own. The only complained I could have is I wish in the parts where it seems like you can fly that they used the same type of flying from Kingdom Hearts (where you actually are able to fly up and down.) Even inspite of that, I really wish Square Enix would make another game just like this one (for PS2, if they could.) :D

Very different then other final fantasys
PostedSeptember 29, 2010
I first saw this game and thought wow this looks very interesting. Then i went and youtubed it and I'm like NO WAY ITS A SHOOTER??? Yes it is in fact shooter and thats the only reason i really bought it. I mean i love the final fantasy stories but i just hate the whole taking turns in the game. Its just really boring to do and thats why i never bought them. Anyways so ya, great bosses, great story, once again ITS A SHOOTER!!
When i first started to play the game i realized that this was a different Final Fantasy. Instead of the Swords and stuff that you would find in a regular final fantasy it is a 3rd person shooter. You use a pistol to shoot and kill your enemies but beside from the fact that the game has Final Fantasy in the name. I would not put as a great game for the series. I enjoyed the game and have played through it multiple times but it does not strike you as a final fantasy game. If you sat someone down who had played every ff except this one he/she would call it a 3rd person shooter not a final fantasy. I found the game to be really fun even though it is a different game for the series if has a fun more fast paced way to play. I am replaying it as i wait for ff 14 but this game is more like a shooter than a final fantasy
The game is ok. It really fails to reach anything spectacular. The only thing thats really good about the game is the storyline which is something Square Enix knows a lot about. Another part that is good is the weapon customization element and it is pretty cool addition to the game and I wished more 3rd person action games had this feature. The game is at decent length and I think most people would find it adequate. Controls are responsive enough and are easy enough to pick up and play. The interface is a little bland and menu driven. Sound is standard. Graphics are good but the level design is linear and generic looking. The challenge is good enough but sometimes I felt like I was at a shooting gallery instead of taking on some baddies. The game is far from being bad. It just has a been there done that feel you can see in other games. Basically get this game for the story because thats what this game excels at.
