im gettin this game for christmas and wondering how good it is i heard its a good game from a friend but i want your opinion.

its pretty nice i still dont like how they took out random battles and the old battle style

Bad. Liked the original ffs more. This one had too much running around in it and the only reason I didn't say very bad was cuz of the amazing cgs. Other then that the storyline is crap.

they took out random battles????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? OMFG im not buying it.

The story is event-driven, not character-driven, which will feel very different to FF fans. I like the battle system. Not nearly as dull as the turn-based menu system in other FF's. It's not a game you can play for hours on end though. It becomes somewhat repetitive. Start dungeon, navigate dungeon, beat boss, leave dungeon, next dungeon. There is a much wider variety of enemies than in previous FF's, but Square-Enix used too many recolors. It's like an offline MMORPG, because you actually have to train.



What, you actually liked random battles? Play DragonQuest VIII; you will grow to loathe them soon enough.

LOL oh god, don't make me remember that x.x

after 150 hours of 12 im still liking it. will be at 175 at least before i get all hunts. having to make certain conditions sux. like waiting for a blizzard before a hunt appears.

anyways, i rate it very good.. it had me sucked in from the very beginning.. great graphics.. i love the battle system (still think ff7 battle system was > than it but anyways..)
nice storyline.. is a very long game if you play it right and go through all the hunts and shit.

Fran = G_G son

well the random battles were kinda old but i dont like the new battle style I liked the origanal way of sittin ina line choosing your attacks and waiting to strike and i liked the graffics on FF7 the most duno why but they were pimp * I HOPE THEY KEEP IT THAT WAY FOR FF7 ON THE PS3 REMAKE *

nope they don't keep it that way..
learned this quite awhile ago and i'm sure most other hardcore FF7 gamers knew that they are greatly increasing the graphics.
