A masterpiece is back!

This is Final Fantasy in all of its innovative glory. The battle system they devised for this game broke away from the typical JRPG format and made all the battles live action. The gambit system is a masterpiece with great satisfaction when your team is perfectly balanced and provides a stern lesson when you're not. This game was la eap forward in 2006 and it has aged beautifully. The subtle refreshing of the color palates and smooth gloss of the newly renovated graphics are subtle but still noteworthy. But even with all its all over shine the one thing that Square Enix messed up on is the leveling system. Now you are only able to select 2 classes and only gain levels in their respective classes. Gone are the days of have a Black Mage wearing heavy armor equipped with a gun. It takes all this away and you will run out of licenses to spend your license points on. Now, I am almost finished with the game but there is still easily 20 hours left with all the side quests and hunts but now my license points just accumulate and there is nothing else to spend them on. It is a big flaw and one that is felt in the higher recesses of the game but I have still enjoyed this game from sun up to sun down.Read full review
