What's great about it: Nice game play, storyline and over play
What's not so great: some of the battle modes and graphics could be better
Overall a must have and an excellent game. The Game Guide is HUGE, I bought the collectors edition and the thing is bigger than any text book I ever had in school and is more complicated than my chemistry classes. It will take you FOREVER to complete this game. So a good one to last for a long time if you like these types of games.

What's great about it: Graphics, music, gameplay.
What's not so great: The main ending.
I absolutely love this game. It is just as fast paced as its predecessor, 13, and there have been a lot of upgrades to it. The main upgrade is the more openness of the worlds and how players have the ability to stick to the storyline or visit other worlds for monsters or more grinding. Overall, I really enjoyed it.

What's great about it: Final Fantasy's return to greatness!
What's not so great: It would have been nice to have the original Japanese dialogue
Final Fantasy is back on track! I was worried about this franchise for awhile, but that passed as soon as I started playing this game.
The graphics are phenominal, gives you a nice showcase for what the PS3 can do and the music is great as well. Different from most of this game's illustrious predecessors, but still outstanding and a great complement to the game.
The story is well thought out and the characters are engaging. Unlike a lot of RPGs, your decisions can have an effect on how the story progresses. Lots of interaction and this adds to the game's replay value. Combat is fast paced and fun. Square-Enix revamped the ATB system from FF XII and made it into a much better combat system, the flow from exploration to combat is near seamless and does not slow the action down at all.
There's also lots more chances for exploration than in FF XIII, it's not quite as linear. The story has always been the main focus in the FF series, but this game gives you much more interaction and action than in many RPGs. You can even customize how your characters develop in terms of combat style as the game progresses.
FF XII-2 is one of the best games in the FF series and shows that this is still one of the best franchises in gaming. Square-Enix is back on track and will continue to hold it's place as one of the premiere developers in the industry.
Great news for longtime FF fans!
This product has... Like to replay, brilliantly executed
