The last grand adventure on the PS2 is an uneven but interesting journey

The story soars, but not so often. The dungeons are long and meandering. The gameplay is effective, but not engrossing. It's a staggeringly well-made game that throws more at you than any other RPG on the PS2... but well-made doesn't necessarily mean "fun." It's oddly low-key for a game about armies clashing and magic blasting. Some will proclaim it the most exciting evolution of the FF series yet; more, we suspect, will cast their eyes hopefully towards the future of the series.

You'll love
  • Expansive world, full of life
  • Lengthy, challenging quest
  • Engaging if infrequent story
You'll hate
  • Big levels get boring to explore
  • Character-building is weak
  • So low-key it's not engrossing

One thing I notice about reviews around the web... Is that the review itself really bashes the game, and points out every flaw, however dimiutive it may be.

You ended really going, "Ew... I really wanted to play this game..." when are reading the review itself. But when you get the rating, you get an 8, saying its a great game.

It just seems like reviews are more like trashings nowadays than really telling you wants bad AND good.
