And yes it does rule though so far with 3 hours of gameplay 3/4ths of it has been amazing cutscenes with great voice acting believe it or not (even if the main character has the haircut of Narciss Prince from Super Punch-Out)
The battle system is also awesome and not like any other Final Fantasy which means you actually get to control your character in battle instead of standing there selecting attack of magic (kind of like Kingdom Hearts)
For those who get this game in the future i warn you SAVE WHILE YOU CAN!!! because since there is no tents in this Final Fantasy because the save crystal will heal your entire party and there are not much Save Crystals in the game.
As for the level up system it's pretty much like Final Fantasy 10's except it's a checker board.
The game will technically be out October 31st but GOD BLESS THE MOD-CHIP!!! ^_^
