The best RPG in ages. Mainly because of none of that confusing combat stuff.
Next, the story, plot and voice acting are great. The cinematics are long and you can pause them if you want to leave the game and come back later to its confusing yet great story.
The graphics, umm... awesome. The most detailed you'll ever see on a PlayStation 2.
The only bad is really up to you and that is the lifespan. So far I haven't completed it but I'm already on 32 hours. I'm guessing I'm around halfway. If you like a long epic game then this is definitely for you. If you don't then it's still worth a look.
Overall, I love this game and so should you.
I recommend this game for people who like the previous Final Fantasy games, Kingdom Hearts and if you really are that sad- Runescape.
