Fun game, despite the review.
Admittedly the English voice acting is bad enough that I never was able to stand it for more than a few rounds of battle, so I played through it in Japanese.
If you're one of the people who thought FFT was too easy, you'll be happy to know that Wild Arms XF's enemies come equipped with decent weapons and skills that don't insult your intelligence. In summary: If you're looking for a game that pulls fewer punches, give it a shot.
