Although ionly played the demo of this i`m not too happy with it and for me nothing beats FF7. Square have tried and tried to beat it and it can`t be done .... Cant win dont try.
Here's something for you to think about.
If Final Fantasy is so final why have there been 12 of the buggers ?
Firstly i think Final Fantasy VI was the best FF not VII, the only people that think FFVII was the best, are the ones that never played RPG games before FFVII and were about 15 years old and "omgz the grafix!" crowd back then wouldn't care if it was "Watch paint drying 2" as long as it had polygonal walls with raytraced paint sheen.
FFVII was my first RPG and I dont consider it the best VI and IX were my favourite Final's
