My dad came back from his business trip on the weekend it came out in Japan. Right now I'm in college and I didn't bring my PS2, so I played it during my Spring Break. Seriously, I couldn't stop playing it. It deserves the 40/40 rating. I would say it's the best FF ever, but I might be a little bit too excited right now. But still, it well-deserves the "flawless" rating. i seriously can't find anything wrong with it. Great story, beautiful graphics, awesome battle system, and this overall "epic" feel that other Final fantasies didn't quite have... Definitely was worth the wait.
