Planning to buy this game.

Pros -
1. If you like terribly depressing settings, then this is the game for you!
2. Voice acting is alright I guess.
3. The whole Vincent, Lucretia and Hojo cutscenes I think are vital to the history of the trio.

Cons -
1. Gameplay isn't fun - there's no incentive to use Materia, and you can win boss battles with just a Limit Break.
2. Rest of the story - seems tacky, cheesy, and some of the villains are like WTF - whose arse did you come out of?
3. It's depressing. Way more depressing then FFVII and AC. If you hate depressing stuff 24/7, then you won't like this games setting.
4. Think thats it :/

'Ex Hard' actually makes the game a lot better, I'd wholly recommend it. Especially if you didn't like the game that much originally.[q=Setzer Gabianni]Cons -

I felt that too. It's an extremely grim story, full of senseless slaughter and almost devoid of hope. I'd have preferred it much more if Deepground was a small band of Shinra escapees trying to cause trouble, rather than a vast army butchering innocents across the world. That way Vincent's fight could've been much more personal, bringing him into direct confrontation with his past rather than just getting him caught up incidentally in a worldwide fight.

If you can get it cheap, buy it. I though it was a pretty good game. It's got a cool little story to it, and like thingy-up-there said, it's good if you wanna find out more about the Shinra naughties.

Yes, it is worth the 20$ new price and even less used price.

The game is complete fail when you compare it to any regular Final Fantasy game, but as a stand alone, it's worth 20usd in my eyes. As for information on anything related to FFVII... probably a good story if you're into Vincent or wonder about anything involving Genesis after you play Crisis Core,(When/If you play CC) but that's about it.

I missed out the chance of buying the game.. found it for 10 bucks, but had no money on me...

It sucked ass
