guess i was too late to resurrect this thread but that's because i finished the game just yesterday 100%...
yup...100%..meaning unlocking all espers, all marks, all rare games, completed beastiary, obtained every equipment...etc...
it took me half a year (not playing straight of course! like maybe around 8 hours per week)! this game is a PAIN if doing a completionist run...
the most annoying part in the game is Yiazmat with 50 Million (!) Hit Points....that battle makes you insane...took me 4 hours!
well...ignoring those annoyances this games is fantastic!
the reason i really liked the game is because it isn't turn-based...the combat is real time resembling that of an MMORPG like WoW...
the storyline is different too and is more mature (no more angsty teen love plots and cliched anime stories! YEHEY!)
i still consider Final Fantasy 6 and 4 the best in the series though...
...legit copies of the game are rare here in cebu...there's no other choice but to borrow/ order in manila or play-asia.com...
OR you may go to those stores that sell it at a price 20 times cheaper..hehe...
