bad reputation, especially from this site, make hard to believe how wondrous this game is; unique
this is a great game, it has it bad points like a so so graphics but it is redeem with an incredible history, and a lot to do, and i mean it.
no field o dungeon is the same, no hability is the same, all the good qualities of and rpg but with actual game play.
Nowadays, there are great games that have copied this formula, in a good way, differente but without improving anything.
the shots of the awakenings, the rengekis, the general fight, the use of items, spells, arts, are just incredible.
but bein honest i must said, it is just a huge game, vol 1 ,2 and 3, if you compiled them togehter it would make a huge game, imagine, remastered for ps3 and all 3 games together, epic
you just cannot compare them with another games, because it is unique in its forms genre.
