This is probably the best game I have ever played.
GRAPHICS: The graphics are great, the look of the spells are nice and the character and monster design is awesome, The graphics are not absoloutley stunning, just great. The swords and armour all look different apart from about 3 of the tunics, but apart from that, each one has it's own design and style. The physics are good, like the way they can swing and use weapons and ride Chocobo's.
GAMEPLAY: This is the best part. I have never, not once got bored of playing this, never. There is different and many worlds to choose from each with different places and surroundings, it won't take hours to travel across just one world, it will literally take months of gameplay, more than 400 hours of gameplay to discover the world. The character creation is fantastic, with 5 different races to choose from, only problemis that you can't fully customize your characters face, you have to choose from about 10 choices with it, the face has lots of choices too. This takes a while to learn aswell, if you want to learn and know about absoloutley everything about the game, again, like 400 hours of gameplay so I gave 4 hours or more for learning curve, but you learn as you go along. The main part of this game (you will understand if you have played an FF game before) is leveling up. e.g, getting stronger learning new spells, and faster ect. You an team up with friends or people from around the world and level up together, which makes it easier and in my opinion, more fun. But say there is a Japanese or French person, there is a special thing called auto translate which takes some getting used to but once you know how to use it, you can speak to anyone. I can't explain half the things you can do, you just have to experience it for yourself.
SOUND: I love the sound, there is different music depending on the situation, for example, you level up and there will be a shrort bit of celebration music, or if you are in a fight, the music is fast paced, if you are in a big city, there is strong grand and proud music.
OVERALL: I don't even like Final Fantasy games that much, but this one s different. You don't have to be a fan of FF to enjoy this, because I wasn't but I am now. If you get this game, I guarantee you will not regret it.
