Plot -- Brilliant. A paradox. Who really seen that coming???
Characters -- Best... cast... ever. Selphie rules...... Fact.
Gameplay -- Loved it. I love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love every aspect of the gameplay system.
1) Monsters level up as you do -- Which means you have to use skill and tactics to beat a lot of enemies. have you ever seen anyone beat a malboro on level 13?
2) GFs -- More than overpowered weapons AND meat shields in one neat package. They add amazing versility to your characters and thier skills.
3) The junctioning system -- Oh joy, Unique, versitile and challenging.
4) Magic -- Useful. Has more than one use.
4b) The Draw system -- Neat way to stock up on magic and get extra GFs.
5) Weapons/Melee Combat -- Upgrading weapons from what you learn in magazines is an inspired idea. And the limit breaks you can get from some of them are tremendous and eye pleasing to watch.
