To me, and many others it was a great FF. It featured a lot of things in it from past FF's, Espers, Espers named after previous FF bosses, all sorts of little things. People think differently on the story, and the characters, but to me, their backstories not being long winded, and the story not being incredibly long winded also, made this a very appealing game, as most FF's I've played, seemed to drag on after a while.

That's all I can add. Wolf Kanno, will be popping in shortly to give his word :3
