"You just made me say 'kweh'!"
So, I bought this game with some awesome art on it, see?
I put it into the Wii and hit 'start' see?
And then BOOM.
AMAZING cut scene graphics hit me! I am in absolute LOVE with this game, it starts off with you, the player, being Chocobo, an exploring Chocobo in the Land of Sands with Cid, both being treasure hunters looking for the Gem of Power (or something I forget).
And then you find that, none other than IRMA and Volg are there and they got it first! But without even time enough to breathe, you're thrust into the world called Memoria into a town where every time the bell tolls, you lose your memories!
Chocobo must fight through countless dungeons to retrieve the memories of not only the townspeople, but also his dearest friend Cid! Witih the help of Rafaello, you save the memories of each person you come across!
The game is riddled with games and side options for you and your children to enjoy for hours on end. I've only just purchased it, and being a leveling monger as I am, am still playing it, and will most likely start over as many times as possible to enjoy it even further.
The game even has our beloved Mog in it as several super heros rumored to have been there for over 20 years! (though it's questionable as, you know, they all lose their memories).
Also, it's a classic style roleplay game. It's turn based, somewhat along the lines of pokemon dungeon if you think about it. If you move forward a square, that counts as your turn, and whatever you're fighting has every right to beat the living snot out of you. It gets tricky at times when you're in the dungeons where you have limited eye space, and there are special dungeons where you can't bring in items, level limits, 1 hp limits (I found this particularly irritating), and even item reversal limits.
Regardless of such, the game is immensely fun and very addicting, I find it hard to get myself away from the television long enough to let my family watch whatever's on (I'm very tempermental about who touches my console).
So far I give it a 9/10.
Why not all ten?
Because randomly bobbing mouths does not dubbing make.
It stays true to the final fantasy graphics style in the cutscenes, which, for Nintendo (much less the Wii), makes me a little happy final fantasy fangirl inside.
Hopefully others will enjoy it just as much as I have.Read full review
