Well I just hit the 51 hour mark on my game. Around level 45-50 with all characters, and got everyone liscensed to what I want them with. Now to just master the whole board. >.>

As for the plot and gameplay and all that. Best gameplay I've played in a game in for a looooong time. Dungeons don't take me 5 minutes to walk through. Puzzles take a little bit of thinking, and arn't the same thing in every dungeon. Bosses are a challenge finally. (Aeon + boss = FFX too easy) Even with quickenings and espers they don't do an overly huge amount of damage to instantly win the fight. Normal fights are pretty tricky too later on. As for the characters, thier pretty nifty, each contributes to the story and game unlike some past FF's >.>. Plot wise it's a bit slow, but a great story. My only problem is thier implementation of the story and villians. While not over doing cutscenes like in FFX, they seem to have a bit of a lack of them. Few more especially with the villians I say would of made it a bit better. I really don't like not seeing the villians so briefly, then beating em up once. >.>

But yeah over all a great FF. Finally a good solo one since 9 in my opinion.
