I've only played about 20 minutes so far. It's a lot different then most RPG's. Since you don't walk through towns and the traveling is done by moving across a flat board model. (If that makes sense)

From the little bit i've played it's been enjoyable. They weren't lying when they said this game is beyond difficult. I'll probably do better once I learn all the controls and how to do the combos.

After I play some more tonight i'll come back and add a bit more to what I think of the game.

On a side note the FFX-2 preview that comes with it is pretty neat. :)
