Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Good ol Days) 『I had to quit playing FFXI during my first years in college due to the demands of "real life". This CD soundtrack is great in reminding me of the good ol FFXI days. For those of you who miss playing the game but cannot afford to keep playing it, this CD will do the job of taking you down memory lane.』
(Good Soundtrack) 『I have read some of the reviews and decided for myself to listen to this soundtrack and I truly think that it is indeed a good soundtrack. Granted, it's not like most final fantasy soundtrack, but this is an interesting point of view. To explore the different areas of video game music. I glad that I enjoy it and it will be in my collection. Yes, I have plenty of game music and let the beautiful music bring me peace in such a harsh enviroment.

(one word "Nobuo Uematsu") 『this man saved square soft in the day with his inventive sound tracks and i must say the music from ffxi inspires everyone who plays the game if you hate the music from the game then you will hate this but if you love the music you will love this it has 50 tracks. 50! normal cds have 12 or 13 you cant get a collection like this anywhere else buy this if you like final fantasy xi or are just a fan of Nobuo Uematsu like many american/japanese people i like him and i play the game --------------------------------------------------------- chaosknightx 25SAM/12WAR remora server』
(Fantastic. Rock on, Mr. Mizuta!) 『Okay, it's time to defend this soundtrack. I hear a lot of people saying how bad of a musician Naoshi Mizuta is, and how his music is uninspired and blah blah blah. People buy this soundtrack thinking they're going to get highly emotional music similar to what they're used to hearing in the past Final Fantasy games, but what they find is a collection of music whose purpose is only to provide atmosphere. This means that instead of story-driven music, you get music inspired by scenery, and many people are turned off by this and instantly think "this music is bad," mostly because we expect to be taken on an emotional journey with our music, but instead we're taken on a journey through an imaginary land.
Final Fantasy XI is an MMORPG, and unlike the past Final Fantasies, it has a different kind of plot; a plot that has no lead characters, no character or NPC development and just includes the bare essentials needed to get the player on their way in the world. The player takes an active role in molding his or her adventure, just like every MMORPG. It's a very different concept from what someone would normally find in a Final Fantasy game.
In the notes included with the soundtrack for the Rise of the Zilart expansion, Naoshi Mizuta clearly states the goal of his music for this particular game: to convey the ideas of earth, nature, wood, water, etc. He accomplished his goal beautifully. There're a few tracks such as Buccaneers that leave you wondering if Mr. Mizuta recorded those songs deaf, but for the most part each song has an earthly feel to it that fits the MMORPG genre perfectly, not to mention the depth of most of these songs is amazing.
That said, the person who buys this OST shouldn't expect to find many sweeping emotional themes in this score (they're there, but they're done by the other two composers, they're in short supply and you won't find the level of emotion you'd find in other Final Fantasies), simply because it's impossible to have very emotional music accompanying a very unemotional video game. They should expect to find very atmospheric music influenced a great deal by minimalist art music and popular music; music that's repetitious, sometimes is very aggressive, but most of the time is very easy to listen to, and music that is artistic and fits each scene in FFXI wonderfully.
I hope this review can help other people understand this man's style, because he writes truly magnificent music.』
(Worth it!) 『If you love playing FFXI you need this! In the car, doing housework, or any other time you can't be logged in you can enjoy hearing the music from some of your favorite zones. This is one of the best things I ever bought. You will enjoy it too.』 『Original soundtrack, regular edition. This album contains all of the game's soundtracks.

(Interesting beginning, get more interesting moving forward, disappointing ending) 『I have been a Final Fantasy fan since version 1 of the game came out for the NES. I played through all the other FF games and loved each and one of them. Just because they are amazing developing games, it does not mean that they would do well developing movies or anime.
I got the movies through Netflix so I can watch them with my kids when I get home from work and relax. In the beginning of the story, it gave some scenes of war and destruction. The startoff was slow and have some mysteries like who is the adult woman hanging around with the two kids and who is the man with tha ma gun that always seems to show up when they are in trouble. It is very interesting to see what kind of summon comes out of the ma gun on pretty much every single episode, but the summoning takes like 10 minutes. Most of the creatures seems to be from FF7.
As the series go on, it reveal more information about some of the main characters. Toward the end, the plot is revealed but yet the end is disappointing because the watchers are wondered "what happened". It is like going to a roller coaster ride where right toward the end, it just stop and everybody get off.
I originally got the first DVD from the Block Buster bargain bin, and that should have been a flag that this is not really that good. Watch it if you have time to kill, otherwise you might be better off watching other anime like Full Metal Alchemists, Kenshin, etc.
』
(The Final Fatasy Games Maybe Great Bud Sadly This Anime Isn't) 『I bought this set during the X-mas sale online and for $20 dollars I felt it was an o.k. price but after seeing the series through I feel I'm now going to sale this to a movie store. I know the series focused mostly on the two children trying to find their parents but I also thought there would either be some cameos from characters of the games are have some references to the game worlds, sadly there was neither and the animation while not horrible wasn't anything to be proud of either. The voice actors for the Japanese cast did do a great job for their character roles sadly the dubbed English voice cast while not the worst of the lot leave a lot to be desired. Also again with some anime you just don't really feel any empathy for most of these characters, if one was killed or hurt so what? The storyline itself isn't to bad and if you've never played the games and are looking for a unique anime here's a decent one, but if you have played the game and are looking for some kid of reference to the games or game characters you'll be sadly disappointed. So at the end is this series worth getting will that's up to the person themselves, if you're looking for a fantasy anime with magical battles this might pique your interest, but if you're a longtime Fina Fantasy gamer you most likely want to just pass this series over....』
(Found It) 『I had been looking for this disc every where. I couldn't find it on any of the more famous anime vendor websites, nor could I find it in any of my local anime stores. I can't believe that I was able to find this Disc on amazon.com. I happened upon it by chance while searching for other Final Fantasy products and now this will be the first place I look if I ever need a DVD.』
(Don't look for the Game Series in this series...) 『I understand what people have been saying about it not being what they expected. Expectations greatly influence how we perceive products to be. However, this series is incredible. Though it is sometimes cheesy, it manages to have just that right amount to make it wonderful. The music is great, and the characters hilarious. There is not much in common with the FF game series, but when you take this as a separate whole, it doesn't matter. This series is fun, entertaining, appropriate for all ages, and great, as long as you aren't expecting another "Advent Children" out of this.』 『Twelve-year-old twins Ai and Yu Hayakawa take a mysterious subway to Wonderland to look for their missing scientist-parents. Wonderland is a hostile place, ruled by the petulant Earl Tyrant and his assorted hench-creatures. Ai and Yu are attacked by monsters and saved first by Lisa, a practitioner of the "Kigen Arts," then repeatedly by the taciturn, gun-totting Kaze. The first episodes are cluttered with characters who appear briefly then vanish. Although Ai, Yu, and Lisa do a lot of traveling, the series doesn't really go anywhere: the filmmakers seem more interested in showcasing the elaborate CG effects at their disposal than in coherent storytelling. The effects are very flashy, but they never meld satisfactorily with the drawn animation. Based on the popular videogame franchise,Unlimitedborrows from Matsumoto'sGalaxy Expressand Miyazawa'sGalactic Railroad, but offers none of their mystery and magic.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Please Locate a Better Print!!) 『As the other reviewers have mentioned, the transfer to dvd is bad. Most notably, the first 5-10 minutes are almost unwatchable and inaudible. If you can get past the credits, the rest of the transfer is acceptable....but not great. The story itself is entertaining. The setting even seems dark and creepy in the daytime, but I suspect that has to do with the bad transfer. Still, a bad dvd transfer is better than no transfer at all. It has what would have been considered an "all-star cast" in the latter part of the eighties, including Daryl Hannah, Rachel Ward, Joe Pantoliano, and Adrian Zmed. However, they were virtual unknowns at the time and unfortunately, they are unknown today to younger audiences. The film also stars the guy from the Twisted Sister videos, "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock," but his name escapes me at the moment. He is one of those supporting actors whose face you know, but whose name you don't. I believe he also starred in "Animal House" and "One Crazy Summer" to name a couple of eighties movies.
The storyline is similar to that of "Don't Go in the Woods...Alone." It follows a group of young men and their girlfriends to a weekend in the woods. Inevitably, suspense, murder and mayhem ensue. As another reviewer also mentioned, there is very little bloodshed. Additionally, it has the least kills of any slasher movie I've ever seen. If you like suspense and don't really like gore, you'll like this movie. Personally, I like both, but I'd rather have a good storyline than a nonsensical movie full of gore. I won't give away the plot, but I will say it has the usual twist-ending, as with most horror movies. Overall, I would give the movie fours stars, but I'm only giving it three due to the poor dvd transfer. Hopefully, someone who was connected to this movie will locate a better print in his basement or storage unit some day (which is what happened with "House on Sorority Row" recently. I've already put that one in my wishlist.) Until then, I'll have to make due with the copy I have. 』
(DVD review) 『It's true if your a fan of the '80s slasher horror flicks this is a really good movie, that's why I had to get it when it came out. I just can't believe how much some people are asking for this though. The transfer was really bad. It looked like a was transfered right from my VHS copy, lines and all, a shame because I give this movie an 8, 10 being the best.』
(Great old fear flick) 『I thought this movie was overall a pretty good time. But the transfer was terrible! I can transfer from vhs to dvd better than this company. I would like to see a better release of this film, its worth having in any horror fans collection of terrors..If you enjoyed this film I would suggest you watch Just Before Dawn.』
(The final Terror) 『This movie was made in our hometown in 1981 in our National Park called Stout Grove. I remember several local people that worked on this movie giving credit to the late Irene Sanders, who played a cook keeping watch on food supplies, and also including my brother Aaron, and a handful of my father's chickens were also in the movie. This movie stars Adrian Zmed, Daryl Hannah, John Friedrich, Ernest Harden Jr., Cindy Harrell, Joe Pantoliano, Lewis Smith and Rachel Ward. This was before they were household names. My brother made most of the props on the set, and got to know quite a few of the members playing in this movie. This film was filmed mostly in the dark, or at dusk, so some of the movie in my opinion is too dark to see. This was a very low budget movie and I believe that's why it's so dark. That way you don't have to pay so much when you can't see much! Anyway, I would say this has to be the poorest made film, although we get a kick out of it, since it was made in our area (Crescent City, California). The acting isn't that bad, but the lighting is what makes this movie so bad. This movie is not recommended for young viewers because of the killings (although there's not much blood to see, there's violence), and also there's a sex scene on the river bank during daylight hours. Good for a stormy day, worth a one time watch.』
(A HIDDEN GEM!) 『It was nice to finally find this hidden gem. Almost 20 years ago I caught this movie on late-night TV and didn't catch the name of it. For years I tried to find out what the name of the movie was and from where I could get a copy of my own. After reading a review on a horror website, their description of the plot details (which I don't want to give away at all) led me to believe that this was the movie I was looking for. I quickly googled it and found Amazon selling it and for cheap! Although, in some parts of the movie, its too dark to see what is going on, this movie is a must for the slasher genre fans. It has a top-notch cast, who many of you will recognize, and a great plot. This movie stands above alot the the 80s slasher flicks.』 『A group of friends and their girlfriends head out for what is expected to be a vacation of hiking camping and a good time but when a backwoods mama finds them on her turf it becomes anything but a vacation.System Requirements:Running Time - 82 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR Rating: R UPC: 692865199434 Manufacturer No: T-1994』

Their attack unwittingly destroys an important source of magical power for The Fey, bringing the conflict back on a more equal footing. The Blue Islanders get a chance to get back into the game, and to fight to take back what was theirs, as long as they can make a key partnership work, overcoming differences.
』
(I love this series!) 『These books just get better and better. The fourth and fifth books are especially good. The story is fascinating: I love the discovering of the true nature of Blue Isle's religion. The characters are not perfect people, which makes them all the more intriguing; Coulter is definitely my favourite character! Altogether: WONDERFUL!』
(A good series ends not with a bang, but with a whimper.) 『After avidly following this series (and I'm not one of those fantasy readers who commits to reading umpteen books set in the same world), I was disappointed in this ending. The joining of Nicholas and Matthias to defeat the Black King brought the legend of the Roca full circle, and to some extent resolved their differences. (And gave the ruthless Rugad a fitting ending.) But the events following that climax were depicted incredibly weakly. How did Jewel get the Fey to accept a"half-breed"as queen, considering that the Black King had left other heirs? (Perhaps that dilemma will be dealt with in more depth in the next series.) How did Nicholas, Arianna and the others get back to Jahn without encountering Fey armies? Were the fierce Fey truly that demoralized by the King's death? I also wasn't satisfied with the somewhat pointless wandering of Luke and Con, or with the"resurrection"of Sebastian. Nevertheless, I will definitely be reading the Black Throne series. Knowing Arianna, Gift, and Coulter are worth any minor flaws in the book's content.』
(I loved this book) 『I believe this to be one of the greatest books ever written. Even tough it is a bit grusome at times, you can't stop reading. I read a lot of fantasy, and I think this is almost as good as Tolkien. I think that it will be a clasic one day. I has such a wonderful plot with many twists and turns. The entiar seiries is excelent. I loved it, and will read it agai, and again.』
(Great Series) 『This is a simply great book, in a great series."Victory"is of a more epic scale than the first four books, and is a fitting end to this cycle as well as a beginning to the next. The book was violent, but as in the real world, people die in wars in books. Actually there were more characters alive at the end than I had expected. Besides that,I that the only thing that has disappointed me at all about"The Books of the Fey"is the lack of a map of the Blue Isle.』 『The conflict on Blue Isle is rapidly reaching a head when one unexpected event suddenly gives the Islanders a fighting chance. Adrian's son Luke, chafing under Fey rule, leads a group of his fellow farmers in a secret strike against a Fey outpost. They are seeking only to unbalance their conquerors, to prove that the Fey are not as vigilant as they believe, but in destroying the outpost, Luke and his fellows inadvertently destroy a stronghold of Fey magick, setting off a wave of power that cripples anyone possessing magickal powers.
Meanwhile, in the town of Constant, Matthias is learning more about his mysterious powers and the truth behind a religion he had all but abandoned. While in the Place of Power, high in the Cliffs of Blood, King Nicholas has begun exploring the stored artifacts of the Blue Island religion, many of which may prove as deadly to the Fey as the once-feared holy water.
And as for Rugad, furious at Luke's attack and feeling his control over his people and his slipping, he knows the time to strike is now-lest he lose the opportunity altogether. Already, the Fey have lost their first battle to the Islanders in the Cliffs of Blood. And Rugad does not intend that it should happen again.
Now, as Rugad's forces march in force against the town of Constant, the fate of all the Blue Isle may rest on the most unlikely alliance of all. For if King Nicholas cannot join together with the man who once killed his wife, all of Blue Isle may pay the price.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Final Fantasy XI Atlas) 『Final Fantasy XI Atlas Help with the game, the book is out dated, I'd look on line, for updated information.』
(Its useful and thats what matters) 『Yes, ok, it doesnt have all maps, but what matters is it IS very useful, I play ffxi a lot and i use the atlas a lot, I recomend it to any player that can afford to buy it.』
(It's a supplemental guide, not a stand-alone strategy guide) 『This book doesn't give as much information as the actual thick FFXI Strategy Guide. Heck, it's not even a strategy guide to begin with. It's a book that contains many of the maps of FFXI, both cities and dungeons. Take note, "many of the maps". There are a lot of missing maps and areas for some oddball reason.
The maps are personally drawn, meaning they don't use graphics from the actual maps from the game. This is good in some cases, especially the annoying maze-like Yuhtunga and Yhoator Jungles, where the actual map provided in-game does not include visible underground passageways, you can still get lost despite the map provided to you. The maps in this book include "dotted line" pathways just so you could "see" those underground passageways and where they are located on the map.
This may or may not be good for some of you, but it also has extra information and advice that you may or may not need, like Notorious Monster spawnpoints and an explanation on what these Notorious Monsters drop and why you need them (I call these monster drops "droppings"). It also has supplemental advice on where to buy good weapons, whether items are better bought in the Auction House or in NPC shops, the works. Personally I find these paragraphs a lot more interesting than the maps themselves.
Be mindful though, and I can't stress this enough. THIS IS NOT A STRATEGY GUIDE, BUT IT'S EXTREMELY USEFUL IF YOU BOUGHT IT TOGETHER WITH THE ACTUAL THICK FFXI STRATEGY GUIDE. Don't buy this alone unless you already own the FFXI Strategy Guide. If you do buy it but don't own the actual FFXI Strategy Guide then IMO it will definitely leave you hanging, but not necessarily a waste of money.』
(Inexcusable; Brady should be ashamed) 『Do not waste your money on this steaming load. Not only is it missing a TON of maps (CoP zones, I can understand.. but no Boyahda, Quicksand, Onzozo, etc.?); for the maps it does have, that's just about all you get - a map. There's a little info on some NM pop locations, but that's it. This guide doles out useful information very sparingly. Not a single damn coffer pop location.
As if being an ATLAS WITHOUT MAPS wasn't enough, the guide is spotted with misinformation here and there. For example, don't try to use this guide if you need to go to a specific location in Western Altepa Desert - the grid is completely wrong.
The one useful thing you get from this guide is level ranges and aggro information for different mobs in different zones. Knowing whether raptors in the Valley link or not is a good thing.. for this, I give the Brady Atlas 1 star.』
(Good, but not great.) 『This atlas, in my opinoin, is pretty good, but not complete at all. It does give you a lot of maps, but only the ones you start off with, or can buy/quest - none from coffers. (Maybe with the exception of Castle Zvahl, I can't remember how you get that map)It does give you a fairly accurate list of monsters and nms along with reccommended levels and some pop locations. Also, it does have maps of towns with some usefull NPC locations. So, if your a beginner, I would definetely reccomend it, since it can get you around for quite a few levels, but the more experienced players don't really need it, unless they really want to save a few gil by not buying maps.』 『

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Simply Stunning) 『I got this game as a Christmas gift in 1998 and spent my entire vacation playing it. At the time, it was amazing. Graphics were great, game play was revolutionary, the only drawback was the subtitles and the Saturn system overheating, meaning I probably should have taken a break. This game is by far the greats and most compelling i have yet to play and opened the door for Final Fantasy lovers as well. There is a huge online following of people waiting for Sega to develop a sequel or remake for PS3. If you are looking for that one timeless game, you found it. Worth every cent. To this day I cannot get it out of my head.』
(Excellent game but....) 『I bought this game in 2000. I remember it being a wonderful game if somewhat short. You can probably finish in 15 to 20 hours. I never sold it and I started playing again earlier this month. The game has not aged well. The polygons don't look very good and the FMV is grainy. Don't get me wrong, it is still a very good game, but instead of paying $150 to $200 for this game, why not buy 4 to 10 other games that are just as good? The sequel, Panzer Dragoon Orta, can be found for $10 to $20, and while a different experience, I think it is just as good as Saga. If PDS had sold 200,000 copies there would be less talk about how this is one of the best games of all time.』
(This game was made by God.) 『I'm at a loss for words. It's worth every penny. One of the best games I've ever played. Easily the best game to be released here in the states. The story and atmosphere will entrance and lock you in a hypnotic grip before you even realize you lost your job, your girlfriend and even your World of Warcraft account. Again, I wish I could say more and I don't know how to properly convey the wonder and joy that this game is. There isn't a single game like it, and there never will be again. I'd say this is one of maybe, MAYBE five games that transcends the limitation of its status of belonging to the video game field and becomes purely a work of art. And I don't say that lightly.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Beautiful fantasy, with unfortunate transportation problems) 『If you're a Final Fantasy fan, then this game is just what you'd expect. It immerses you in a beautiful fantasy world, richly detailed and innovatively imagined. One thing I really like about this MMORPG that makes it unique is that it actually has a story. The RPG genre just doesn't feel quite right without a story, but Final Fantasy knows exactly how to put meaning and context into all that fighting and leveling.
The battle system could be described as typical Final Fantasy mixed together with the usual MMORPG battle system that you find in Everquest, Anarchy Online, and World of Warcraft. The class system is perfect. You level up as a class rather than a character, and you can switch classes if you like. For instance, if you're a level 12 black mage, you can switch over to white mage where you will start out as a level 1. You can go back to being a level 12 black mage later if you like.
I do have some complaints, though. The game has many clipping errors, which is disappointing considering the high quality I've come to expect form Final Fantasy games. There are many, many, many items and equipment to collect in the game, but you can only store or carry very few.
The absolute worse thing about this game is the walking. Most MMORPG's have vehicles, horses, teleportation, or some other way to get from one place to another. Only very high level white mages can teleport in this game, and the rest of us have to walk everywhere. This means that it's not uncommon to spend half an hour walking just to meet a friend, buy something you need, go to the next place to level, and so forth. This problem alone was so irritating that it was the reason I gave up this otherwise very fun game.』
(Decent game if you give it a chance) 『Lots of people truly don't give this game a chance when they first play it.I know I did when it first came out for the PS2. I'm glad I came back to give it a second chance. Though I do tend to perfer the Xbox 360 version over the PC version. This game seems built more for a controller than a keyboard.
MMO's are not like your regular games. You have to spend some time with them before you realize what the game offers. Most seem to give up because they can't do anything with their level 1 characters. MMO's start to shine when you get into the higher levels.
Sure the controls are frustrating and the interface a bit confusing at first. But with some quality time there is a nice little game behind it.
Its not your grind from 1 to 70 in six weeks game like your EQ's and WoW's. Lots of people like to try to compare it to those kind of games. You really can't compare it to them because its just a completely different game. I personally like the slower pace, and the ability to change professions on the fly.
Community is quite mature. Which one really learns to appreciate after playing WoW before making the switch. Refreshing not having to listen to a bunch of 10 year old brats talk about Chuck Norris and all the other useless banter that makes you spend most of the game with on the combat tab!』
(FFXI) 『I havn't been so addicted to a game like this since Diablo II!』
(This game isn't worth buying.) 『I have played many MMORPG's on the internet, and by far, this was a huge let down, I've played all the version's of Final Fantasy, and loved them all, Until I baught the internet edition, What a huge let down.』
(Good game) 『This game is a very good MMORPG, very well laid out and people are helpful in this game. In the game someone can give you a linkshell and this is a very helpful tool because you can communacte with 10-30 people usally, and they are always very helpful. The downside to the game is that some of the early levels get very boring, but after thoes levels you are able to start doing more. I would recomoned this game to anyone who like the final fantasy series or like mmorpgs.』 『Final Fantasy XI: The Vana'diel Collection gives you an entire continent to explore, complete its own climates and kingdoms -- even monsters and dangers to face. Players return to the world of Vana'Diel, where you'll join other adventurers around the world for a massive-multiplayer online adventure.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Please make it stop) 『How long have video games been in existence now?!Heres a RPG with no chalenge,very few enemy types,mind numbing music,towns with buldings you cant even go into,shops that sell worthless items,equipment your character cant equip,etc.Horrible stuff.Good graphics though!Thats what sells it,how cares about the other stuff,right game designers?Gameplay is basically slash away at enemies/bosses or you can use your endless magic or cure.Its almost like playing a regular game with a code that makes it too easy!Worst RPG I have ever played.』
(Even worse than a good deal of freeware games) 『The other day I was bored of playing on the computer and since I am a Final Fantasy fan, I decided to get FF CC for my GBA to do somethign diferent for a while. Guess what. It didn't take long before I actualyl got bored of this game. Graphics are not that great, musics/sounds only so so, and the storyline, the empties of any Final Fantasy game I have seen so far. Multiplayer is nothing so special that you cannot actually do with any games for computers. Geez, even freeware games such as Astroseries and Freija are better than FF CC. My opinion? Look for another Final Fantasy. Most (if not all) are better than FF CC.』
(Just, this isn't FF at all) 『Ok so... TO all you.... people out there, what the hell is wrong with Square Enix?, I mean, I know that it's a little late to complain about the game, but It actually sucks. The storyline is descent, and it has some good graphics, but the battle system sucks, and believe me it really sucks, plus No random encounters, all this is wrong, I mean no random encounters? It makes me wanna go and beat the crap out of someone cuz this game's system sucks, although It sucks, I gave it three stars cuz of:
a)Cool Graphics b) Descent Storyline c)It's FF, and I love FF
It's very hard to get to like this game, but you'll like it, It's like MoH rissing son, you can play it over and over again, not like NFU2 when you top it, it sucks, but not with this game when you get to like it, you'll see what I mean』
(I don`t do tittles) 『This is my fav ff game.You can choose the sex and appearance of your character(and what kind of person you are.Selkie...you know the rest)The beginning clip is really long and I HATE the stupid music that goes with it.I`ve beat it almost 20 times,it`s pretty easy...if you are a fan of final fantasy.It has excelent graphics,like all the other final fantasy`s out there.It also has somehing unique about that makes it different from all the rest.It`s definetly a must have for the fans out there,it`s also a great game for people who just got into it too.』
(Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicals) 『For you people who dont like this game you suck! I may only be 12 but I know a good game the graphics are superb, very detailed, ans beautiful the music is wonderful and all around gameplay is great at first i was a little disappointed with the battle play but now I take it for something great and not for granted. It was not a waste of 80 dollars.It has a few downs but on around your second day try to notice everything and you will understand the beauty of this game i really appreciate it its beautiful. I may be a child but I know a good game 'trust me'
