 Amazing April 3, 2008

This game is simply amazing. ITs a prequel to the original FFVII and follows the story of SOLDIER 2nd class Zack, and gives you more information about what happened before FFVII. The gameplay is simple, and easy to catch on to. All you do is cycle through your commands (that you set) and press x to do it. There is also a new battle system called the Digital Mind Wave (DMW). It's when a slot spins and randomly lands on a character and number. This gives you either a power surge, limit break, or a level up. The only thing I don't like about this is that it happens all at random. There isn't any experiance that makes you level up. The graphics and voice acting are some of the best I've seen and heard on the PSP.Even the in game graphics look good. The cutscenes are extremely detailed and look like they came straight out of Advent Children. I had no problems with this game and highly recommend it.
 Great at first... March 27, 2008

This game is great at first, but when you continue, you realize it's the same repetitive button smashing over and over. The story is good, and the game play is comparable to Drakengard, though I found Drakengard more challenging.
The high ave. rating for this game is due to FFVII fanboy hype. This game's okay when compared to other games, but awful when compared to Final Fantasy as a genre.
 High Production - Great Story - Low Fun Factor April 16, 2008

So you are excited about the new FF game on PSP? Ya, so was I. I was looking forward to a new customizable team of FF players to do my heroic bidding. What did I get instead?? I got 1 new character with a know it all personality who fights mission after mission of boring hack and slash. (I won't discredit the game for having 1 character, I could have researched that myself before buying.)
That being said, I will continue to play an hour or two a day to finish the story. It's not ALL bad... being a fan of FF7, it's awesome to play from a different perspective and see references made to "AVALANCHE" and "SOLDIER". Those 2 words alone are great nostalgia.
Here's the good
** The story is amazing
** Super high production level (great sound and music, astonishing movie scenes, even the menus are pretty awesome looking
** Mission mode gives you stuff to do on the side, and you get some free roam time of midgar, and a cool e-mail type system from other NPC's in the game
** Materia is back! There's some cool stuff to be done with it now too...
Here's the bad...
** REPETITIVE GAMEPLAY!!!!!!!!!!!! (fine don't believe me, but you cannot deny it if you try it) It gets to the point where you just don't care about the gameplay anymore... you'd rather just watch all the storyline scenes and cinematics and then put the game away.
** Not much strategy involved... this is due to a lot of randomness in the battles... in fact most of the entire game is watching a slot machine scroll down faces of allies that you've unlocked and then performs a special attack. Basically you "watch a fight happen" rather than control it. (generally speaking of course. I mean you do have to hit the X button a lot yourself.. lol)
** Decently high load times, something I probably wouldn't complain about if the game was really enjoyable.
** Ability to only control only 1 character. (this may change as I'm only about 8 hours in but at this point I HIGHLY doubt it due to the nature of the combat system!)
** Fails to live up to the FF name we mostly love. Granted, I'm not a huge fanboy of the series, but I know that FF means quality... and here I only see quality in the cinematics and production... it fails to be present in the gameplay.
All of that being said, a Final Fantasy fan should not pass up the game because of it's share story value alone. It's awesome to see the Shinra side of things and see the build up to what eventually brings us to FF7. If you haven't played FF games before (I know not many haven't) then there is no need to jump into the story here. It would be a horrible introduction to the series. I think I've ranted long enough... I think to make a long story short I'll leave you with this.
Buy it if you are a FF fan but don't expect a great experience, just a good story. If you aren't a fan to begin with, then just avoid it all together... there are plenty of other good PSP games to spend your money on.
CC with UMD May 5, 2008

This is a wonderful and refreshing return to Midgar. The combat system is great and contrary to many other reviews, the slot machine style DMV is an innovation and works for you more than against. The limited edition UMD Case.... Some pictures it looks leather, some pictures it looks like a solidly constructed rubberized case. This case is, in actuality, a very cheaply made piece of plastic akin to a promotional toy you'd get with a kid's meal. The clips inside look like they'd snap extremely easily. It holds two UMDs. I'm not trying to disuade you from purchasing the copy with the case (it's the same price, you'd be stupid not to.) I'm definitely not saying you shouldn't buy the game (this has nothing to do with the amazing game, in fact I'm telling you to buy it even if you have to buy a PSP too so you can play it). I'm merely informing you on the case quality so you don't get your hopes up too high in regards to the limited edition free gift.

This is a awesome game that features great promise in new age RPGs. The style is a mixture of action and role playing with a little spice of luck with the chance of either hitting multiple, critical, or just getting lucky from the slots that is always rolling in the action. Controls are smoothly done and the detailed art of the games portray the Final Fantasy 7's setting pretty accurately. Overall, the game play magnificent and the story has promising upbringing toward the future Final Fantasies.
