THE GOOD:-Gorgeous graphics
-Excellent sound and music
-Clever, emotional dialog
-Efficient combat system, normally
-Good and challenging
-Very entertaining and somewhat addicting
-Very, very long (it takes at least 80 hours to complete the storyline alone!)
-At least 22 large areas with lots of objectives
-Lots of side quests
-Seven playable characters, each with his or her own fighting style
-Tons of different combat strategies
-Cool boss battles
-Imaginative story
-The Sphere Grid is very creative and resourceful
-Lots of ways to customize your characters
-You can attack your own allies!
THE BAD:
-The framerate is kind of shaky (but hey, this is Square's first PS2 Final Fantasy)
-VERY linear exploration and gameplay
-You can't jump (which is a very basic video game move), and you can't even step over cracks
-The Sphere Grid is also pretty...
