WOW, WOW and more WOW! The art direction in this game is beautiful! Contrary to what I had heard, the voice acting is very well done (the lip-synch can be a bit off, but that is to be expected of a dub), and the ability to turn off the subtitles and just listen to the characters speak is really a nice addition to this series. I was getting tired of the constant reading of paragraph after paragraph in most RPG games ...the fact that this game is primarily voice driven makes it flow much more smoothly and makes it so much more immersive IMHO.
And these graphics, the beauty that these artists and designers have worked into every part of this game (I am only about 4 hours in but the quality has remained unbelieveably high throughout) ...it is all just amazing.
This has to be the best looking video game I have ever seen (and I have seen pretty much all of them) ...nice little touches like the wind blowing through grass and trees causing them to sway gently, and over water causing it to ripple -every background is just 'alive' (Think "Onimusha" in real time 3D). I just can't say enough about how beautiful this game is. Everything is designed on such a grand scale with such style.
If you were ever a fan of Final Fantasy games, then you really need to give this one a look. I know that this has all been said before, but after having heard all of the hype myself for so long, finally seeing it and playing it has exceeded even my highest hopes.
Just an amazing game. (so far, but it only seems to be getting better as I go) :star: :star: :star: :star: :star:
P.S. The audio is also very impressive with some serious low-end in places that can rattle the paint from your walls. Break out those subwoofers, and nail down the furniture
