Like I said, I did enjoy playing the game, but if it wasn't titled Final Fantasy, it probably wouldn't have appealed to me. Thanks alot, Square-Enix, for wasting 108 hours of my life. Thanks alot.
Agree up to a point. I wouldn't say I wasted my time, and I played a lot longer than you did. Gameplay is fun, if you forget the lack of story. :rolleyes2

It took me a while to adjust to the changes and to the fact it didn't live up to my hype. And there was no romance, no strong characters.... But I found myself playing a lot of it in spite of all my bitching

Yeah, the plot was weak and they "undid" a lot of stuff that was well done in previous FF games. But they also had gambits, quickening chains, rare game, hunts.. A lot of innovation. Some worked, some didn't. But in the balance the game was fun.
