When I first heard about this game, I thought it was a bad idea. I bought it the day before thanksgiving, and it's been hard to stop playing it. If my memory card hadn't crapped out on me, I'd probably of beat it by now, but I'm only just starting chapter 3. The voice acting is very good, and I like how they improved some of the animations. Like facial expressions. Rikku has some good ones.
The mini games are like FFX, not very fun.Sphere Break is so lame, math is not fun at all. The Thunderplanes "Calibration" game is quite hard.
I also have a gripe about (SPOILER)Lulu not looking pregnant. That's just lazyness on Square-enix's part. But whatever. The game is great, not the best FF by far, but still pretty damn good.
