Great game
This is like Final Fantasy XII in some sense to be honest but still some what different.There is,of course,the Materia system though it's a slightly downsized version compared to it's original.Players need to select their attacks or allocated Materia to use during combat or items.Combat will usually be initiated in missions only and oddly enough,emeies only appear in wide areas.
Features----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Materia system does not make use of the Spawn function though it does have a Mastery function.There is also a Fusion Function that allows you to fuse two Materias to make a new and better Materia.They also give Parameter boosts.Materias also no longer fuse into weapons or armour so you have a rather limited amount of space to equip Materias.Equipments,at first,is limited to two slots.However,in certain missions,you can gain Key Items that allows the expansion of your Equipment slots.The game make use of Save Points,where you can save and choose missions that allows you to get rare items,provided that you had done enough of it.There is also a DMW system.It allows you to level up,Summon or do Limit Breaks.
Storyline----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The story is generally interesting and Zack is truly lovable.Even though original FFVII players might or would know that Zack will be killed,it still comes as a blow.The storyline also fits into the Final Fantasy VII Compilation series.
Graphics----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The graphics typically puts PS2 in shame.The cutscenes are jaw-dropping and unbeleviable.There are multiple intense cutscenes of which you could pause in so you could go to the toilet or get a drink without missing any thing.
Items---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summons,Items,Equipments,they all need hunting if you want the decent ones.Even though there is a Store for you to buy things with(There are Multiple stores,depending on whether you found the Card to the store or not)Powerful Equipments need to be searched for and Summons can only be attained in Missions.There will be a surprise if you attained all Summons and mastered them.There will also yet be another surprise when you complete all missions.
Missions----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are many missions though they all involve fighting.Their organised into sub-titles then sub-missions.Each Sub-missions will have a Very Easy,Easy,Medium,Hard or Very Hard beside them to tell you whether you can cope with it or not.Though it is still generally possible to do Very Hard missions,it would still need tremendous effort.There is one special quest where you fight a Super Boss,Minerva.
