I don’t think i’m going to be writing a play by post on this game, instead i’m writing the review even though I haven’t completed the game yet.

A play by post would probably do the game an injustice as the main game offline isn’t really it’s full potential and I don’t think it was a game that was intended for offline play.



From what i’ve read so far from others who have completed the game is that the main story mode offline is fairly easy and quickly completed, the main idea of this game in particular is they have turned it into a MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role playing game) which is cool and makes for a game which can be played forever more, a bit like world of warcraft, the difference being is it is a more final fantasy type rpg.

For the game itself,for me personally there were a few disappointments but on the whole I was impressed. I was pleasantly surprised that it was so much like a final fantasy type rpg. Being bought up on final fantasy type games it was cool to have one on my ps3 and I will definitely finish this game.

I will also try the online play once i’ve finished the main game and write a seperate review on that also.

Anyway the game so far is very graphical, the storyline is fairly basic and nothing new, princess gets captured by bad people and the good kid has to rescue her, it was the storyline which disappointed me most as I thought with such a long time in the making they would have come up with something a little more original but it’s not a big deal as the gameplay will satisfy any final fantasy fan.

Very open ended, many different sections of the map to explore, many different types of monsters to fight to get your levels up which is where i’m at right now, it didn’t take too long to work out how to use the combat system although there are still elements of it I don’t quite understand.

You can switch characters and learn different abilities, use a points system to learn extra abilities like archery, longsword, healing, magic etc..I’m not going to give any spoilers away yet as I would rather people ask questions and i’ll answer them as I go. As before I will only write a walkthrough if enough request it but I think the real gameplay is going to come into effect on the online play.

You can also visit guilds in this and buy quests and I believe that is probably how the online part will play out but will update as I reach that point. So far it’s definitely worth playing if your an rpg fan and are waiting on FFVIII which should be out later this month I believe.

There are trophies in this one too for the added extra playability, I picked up a trophy last night and I haven’t yet checked what they are but i’m guessing it’s the same as most trophy games, there will be some easy ones and some hard ones, will update that as I go along.
