I enjoyed it immensely.

I tend to like systems where i can control my stats better than the others. (ie, ffx, ff8, and ff2, and to an extent, ff7)

There's a huge area for potential (what, 850 something spheres?) plenty of area to get all your stats maxed, except for a couple (or just one?)

After having so much fun making kimarhi jump through rikku's grid to get to Yuna's before Yuna ever got to that area, I appreciate the sphere grid even more (although by the time gagazet comes, which gets sooner and sooner, I may start regretting that. At least he'll have good curing abilities with use and curaga and regen. and steal! and maybe even Holy. You never know)

It sorta makes sense, being able to learn other people's abilities. I mean, lulu keeps saying 'you should study your magic more' and when you think about it, if you were traveling with a black mage, wouldn't you be asking them all the time to teach your fire3? I mean, they have to do *Something* when they stop for the night at places-- sharing abilities just makes sense

It's not like they're traveling with a book they're reading through their journey, and only when they get to certain points (levels-_-. THe stupidest way of learning abilities I can think of) they go 'oh! okay!'

Heck, if I had to read a book while walking all over the world while saving it, I'd trip in a well like the astronomer and die.

And then the world would blow up because I wasn't there to save it.

So Sphere grid system== awesome.

but expensiveX.x (stupid clear spheres and lvl4briberyspheres)
