Yep, it came to day and that's why I haven't been on the boards. Had to start to play it. Well the following are my first impressions of about the first 3 hours I have been playing. The Opening CGI for the game is totally AWESOME. They really used IMO the PSP's ability to play "movies". The game is not what I thought it would be... it's better. The battle system is nothing that I have ever seen. It takes a good 45 minutes just to get through the Prologue. I don't want to give away too much here, because 1) I just really started it and 2) there ares ome things that I am having issues with trying to master. Those of you who text all the time might be fine, I however do not text and am having certain this - hit this button now - problems. I tend to get swept up in the battle and lose focus of what crazy button I need to be hitting.
So far I am playing as Tidus, yep he's here. There are also the other characters we all love from the most beloved of series. This so far has been an interesting take on this series. People used to gripe about the Sphere grid and License Board. This is not even an issue anymore.
Keep checking back, because I will write a review once I figure out what I am supposed to be doing. It's a totally different take, but it is nice to see the Warrior of Light and Firion and Bartz and all the rest up close with real faces and in color with voices. WoW!!! It could be that I am still excited about this game, but so far I am really getting into this game. Thank you SquareEnix. I think this is one game they actually took some time to develop before it was released. Keep in mind this is just my initial thoughts. We shall see as I start to see some Boss Battles and other little road blocks that I am sure that are out there.
