IDK what other people say about this game, i just love Final Fantasy Series its my favorite.
The Graphics has improved, the story line is my 2nd favorite out of the whole FF Series, this game is addictive and kinda difficult, it took me some time to get use to the new Battle System, and the lisence board, you'll need to get a specific lisence before one can use that magic, item, weapon or armor.
This is a great game, you must try it yourself!
