The Kernel Loaf Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Anyone else picked this up yet?I think it's brilliant. Glad to see Square-Enix adding some freshness to the series, especially with the battle system being a mixture of turn-based and active-time battle, and also the lack of random encounters. The game really pushes the PS2 to it's limit, and there is some beautiful scenery even though it's previous gen graphics.I reckon this will take at least 40 hours to complete minus sidequests.

There is no remake. It was just a tech demo to show the capabilities of the PS3.Been playing for almost 25 hours now, and just past King Raithwall's tomb. I have the feeling that I am going to be playing this for over 70 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try getting two of them in and start casting some Water spells and dealing damage with close-range weapons and try to equip a shield or two.

FezMonkey Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 I've been staying away from this thread in case of spoilers, but I'm far enough through now that I thought I'd risk it.Only managed to pick it up on Tuesday, but I've been playing it pretty much non-stop ever since.I had reservations about the combat system but it's working out well so far.Kind of a cross between FF Crystal Chronicles and Summoner.Graphics are top notch, as to be expected.I'm disappointed you can't name any of the characters though. That always brought some mild comic amusement to the game for me.And they don't play the fight winning music enough.I think that's enough for now.

Untitled Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 completed it in 53 hourswas that hard to be honest, just kept doing random fights with tough monsters till my characters were up to level 50 and kicked everyones ass the storyline was good and very different to the previous ones, along with the fighting style and i particularly liked the use of gambits as it helped with not having to deal with every abnormality a character gotas with any final fantasy game, i'd advise anyone to buy iti've still got lots left to do with side line stories while will probably take me a good few more hours to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exploring everywhere top to bottom and doing the sidequests as I go. I'm on Lvl 47, but I've still got LOADS of storyline to go.I'm currently in the Feywood which is a right hoot.Really enjoying the hunting, but disappointed there's no card games, ala XIII/IX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kernel Loaf Posted March 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 67 hours on the clock, and about to head to the Feywood.There are so many sidequests that I keep getting distracted from the main storyline! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 It's a shame really. I loved that game though The scary thing is how they're resisting doing such a remake - it would be a guarenteed money making venture, they couldn't possibly lose by doing it. Perhaps though, they don't want a situation where the follow on games aren't as well regarded because of the awesomeness of the prequel, though.edit : Is FFXII linear like FFX then?
