Who put these onions here?!

Took me about 22 hours (-2~3 hours cos I forgot to save and my characters got wiped plus an hour or so of grinding)to clear my first run through the game. Despite some others who found the game lacking, I actually found it rather enjoyable. With that I'll state the pros and cons.

Pros:
+Battle system is similar to Chrono Trigger, which makes it fast pace and exciting
+Really beautiful artwork, and the scenery's amazing.
+Piano BGM, which is unique.
+Lots of customization in terms of skill builds, weapon choices, character/skill names etc.
+Weapon outlook changes as you equip different weapons.
+Character interactions are really cute.
+Cute monsters and bosses. Picture yourself fighting a chibi penguin and an overstuffed baby seal.
+Certain boss fights are rather tough, requiring some character compositions to tide over.
+Cutscenes are done wonderfully.
+Has a decent replay value.

Cons:
-The game is pretty much just snow everywhere.
-Story is too similar to Final Fantasy X and Tales of Symphonia.
-Can't skip cutscenes.
-Even though there's voice acting, it only occurs during combat. And its only in Japanese Dub.
-Many people are facing problems with the XBOX one controller, which tends to screw up the controls. Only way to fix it is to rebind it but there's no way to save it everytime you launch the game.
-Alot of indepth info that are actually missing, which tends to make new players confused and lost. I actually figured out how to use "Momentum" near to the end of the game. Still have 0 idea how to use Flux.
-There's absolutely NO map guidance or navigation. You have to sort of memorize the map/world layout to progress.
-Most boss fights are just tank and spank.
-Positioning is crucial in battles but you have NO control over where your characters stand/move.
-Farming for materials to gain skills/perks may get repititive afterawhile, especially when the mobs don't drop the key item.
-Throughout the game you'll encounter dialogues in which you can make choices, but sadly it has ZERO impact on the game.
-Ending felt abit lacking, with tons of questions left unanswered.

Overall I felt my money was well spent, though some others might disagree. Definitely will recommend people to buy this game when it's on sales.

i got friendzoned by a game.

Only game in which stickers and knives cost alot more than actual ones.

I've never played the PSP version of it so this is my first try on a port to PC. A must play for any fans of the Final Fantasy series. Completed my first run through of the game in about 42 hours. With that being said, I'll state the pros first before the cons.

Pros
-Interactive battle system.
-Up to 14 characters for you to choose and master, each with a different playstyle.
-One of the best storylines out there amongst the series.
-Traditional Eidolon summons such as Shiva, Odin, Ifrit.
-Soundtrack is amazing, as expected from Square Enix
-Japanese VAs are unparalleled.
-New game+ after completing the game for the first time.
-Chocobos.

Cons
-Needs a controller for a good gameplay experience.
-Locking on system is abit clunky. Sometimes the items on the floor might be just infront of you and it takes ages for the system to detect.
-AIs are abit retarded at times, not hitting mobs, range supports not targetting aerial units etc etc.
-FPS drops to about 15 on certain parts of the maps.
-Certain boss fights are confusing, sometimes I'm not even sure if characters dying due to overpowered moves from bosses are part of the progress.
-Gets grindy if you wish to unlock end-tier items for your characters.

Overall would rate this game a 9/10.

Bought this game two years ago. Still in early access. Might move on to beta when my grandson is born.
