Can't stop Playing this game.. I know I know.. i'm late playing it but having a blast doing it. Really enjoying the story line thus far even though i'm not to far into it... Voice acting in my mind is excellent and you can't beat the little CG sequences thrown into boss fights. Really like the Hunts you can do as well. ;D
So far I'd give the game 9/10 just because I haven't played it through yet.

I started this around Christmas Played for about a month and got tied up with work and daddy stuff.
Since canceling WoW - I want to get back into this some I had some PITA's with the Boss fights (one of the ones out in the desert kicked my butt for like a week before I figured it out).
I was a little bit concerned about the rework of the interface from the typical FF layout - but it came out really well.
Over all I agree 9 out of 10!

For whatever reason I still haven't picked this one up. I was thinking about waiting for a price drop but who knows when that will be. I really want to see the new combat system.

This game has been sitting in my drawer since December and I haven't touched it. I'm a huge fan of the FF series, but I just never seem to get around to playing the ole consoles anymore.
I bought a Wii and didn't even make it through the first quarter of Zelda... I'm too young to be acting like this... I'm starting to feel like one of those grown-up people who go to work and never play games.. What am I becoming?

That's what i've been like lately Tye. I'd pick something up get halfway through it and not play it for months... for example FFX. But I really haven't been able to put this down once I started playing it. Has a really fresh feel to it.. I recommend popping it in the ole system and give it a whorl!

FFX is sitting in your drawer? ? OMG the Agony..... I've replayed that one probably more then any of the other FF's except FFVII! Speaking of VII - anyone seen advent's children? I kind of lost track of that when my life got busy. Need to know if I need to check it out!

I have most of them on my PS2 Hard drive except for the earliest FFI, FFII, and FFIII. Might be missing FFIV as well... but, yeah. Advent Children I thought was pretty good.. graphic wise it's really good.. I kinda found the story lacking though.. all in all it's worth watching.. maybe even owning.

I agree about Advent Children. The story is so-so, kind of contrived. The graphics and actions sequences are top notch though.

IMO, advent children just didn't "feel" like final fantasy VII. I was hoping for something much different.
FFVII is probably the greatest rpg in history. I need to replay that one. FFIX was another one of my all-time favs. FFX was.. eh, good I guess but not wowing.

I haven't played any of the FF series, but my fav rpg of all time has to be Fallout. Great turn based combat. Great story. Great setting. The only problem was that it was too short.

I'm really craving FF7/10/12 now This is going to be a long couple of days before I get home. Winin - I haven't had the pleasure of Fallout - I may have to look into that - short is good (i'm an adict with FF - I'll start at 10 at night and go to bed about 5 in the morning to go to work at 730.... so short=good as long as the story/game play is fun and well laid out)

It is short to get to the end, but then you can replay and go a different route to a different ending.

Tye FFIX was pretty awesome.
Now then I think this thread needs some more great RPG's... well opinion wise I guess.
Great RPG's IMO:
- Final Fantasy (i'm even going to include FFVIII even though I don't wanna)
- Chrono Trigger!
- Zelda (I didn't like Second Zelda.. forget the name.. Link to the Past?)
- Xenosaga and Xeno Gears Loved the lengthy cut scenes in Xenosaga
- Legend of the Dragoon (thought this was a great game)

One of my faves isn't a traditional rpg, but Knights of the Old Republic was excellent. 2nd one...not so much....but I have played through the 1st multiple times.
