For the FF series fans.. This is the closest you get.
I am a fan of RPGs games, and this one really got me hooked to my xbox 360 since the day I bought it. Granted, this is not the BEST RPG ever, but it certainly comes close enough.
The visuals are absolutely stunning, for 4 DVDs, one cannot expect anything less. Right at the opening of DISC 1 you are treated to a superb cinematic (shall not disclose here..haha). The battles are highly realistic and it follows the old school system of turn based battles. So this might not be too good for some people as they prefer their actions to be fast paced.
The story line is solid enough, not much major flaws or anything, (I am only at DISC 4 so far). The player follows the amnesia struck Kaim Argonar on a journey which he pieces up the bits and pieces of his memories. Some of the memories might be a bit boring though, whenever he recalls a memory, you can choose to read through a long series of words for a piece of the story, but it might get a bit boring after a while.
True to all RPGs, this game comes packed with side quests and special bosses to fight, though some quests might require you to run through vast distances and fight some super low leveled monsters along the way (I am still searching for an item to avoid random encounters), otherwise, they are quite fun to do and usually comes with good rewards.
The battle system is interesting, immortals learn skills from mortals and items, so you can switch your skills anytime BEFORE you face a new type of monster so as to give you the competitive edge. Boss fights are cool and not too hard, although some bosses can really make life miserable for you.
All in all, I will say this is a must get if you are a RPG fan, great story line, nice voice acting, and superb graphics to top it off. One cannot ask for too much... Perhaps only if the immortals had some limit break skills like the FF series.. Then again, this isn't Final Fantasy..
