Personally I thought a few FMVs could be tuned down and little less pretties, and more fighting. but otherwise its ok so far. Not bad, not absolutely awesome either.

I am still not used to the sphere grid, but I haven't touched it as I'm still playing Dragon Quest 8 currently.

If there was a little faster talking/less pause/fluff in it to make it go faster it would be better.... but I'm not really a FMV lover. Otherwise its pretty good. Not supremely great or anything, but pretty good.
