awesome game
I won't put up the story of this game in this review, this is a late review I beat the game a week after it came out so Its alittle foggy. I love this game probably my second or third favorite of all time. Its one game that will have a special place in my heart because I kind of see this game as the swan song for the ps2 and what will probably be the death of turn base combat on the big consoles. I've played games for years and its been along time since I played a game for 14 hours straight the last time I did that was with Persona 3, If persona 5 came out on the same day as FF13 I would no doubt get persona 5.
ON TO THE REVIEW
Gameplay: This is without a doubt a 10 for me, I still love turn base combat and the fact that it doesn't have any stupid random battles is a nice kick in the face to final fantasy, I know FF12 didn't have it I just wanted to put it in since I don't think FF12 can hold a candle to this. While in battle you can actually control all your characters but you have to put that command on just in case anyone who is reading this is wondering how.
Graphic: its on the ps2 but I still think this game looks fantastic because of the anime art style, I hate when games try to look realistic, I play games to get away from real life.
Sound: Probably to me the weakest part of the game but I hate dubs I can't stand them. I wish they kept the japanese option in the game but I guess the dvd format couldn't do that. I still keep it as a 5 because I don't think that part broke the game because it does have decent voice acting I just can't stand it because the lines sound stupid in english. I do love that they gave you the skip button though.
If your a fan of turn base and anime this is a fan service and its a game you need to pick up. I can only hope that Persona 5 isn't to far away but it probably is...
