Well…here it is. I’m ready for your white hot nerd rage! BRING IT! I stumbled through the script in a few places and I apologize for that. I promise it wont be as bad in the future. I was just ready to get this review done already!
I know the review ran WAY too long, but I had a lot to say! I actually had to edit the piss out of it to get it as short as it is. Removed complaints like the game throwing WAY too many terms at the player at the start of the game, the unimaginative characters, horrible camera, unbalanced battles, etc.
I do not know why, but I decided to use a "stars" rating system. Don't worry, that is going out the window with this review.
On the good side of the things I did say that the story was unique…did not mention that it makes little to no sense is is stuck WAY up it’s own ass…but it was unique.
Please comment! If you agree or disagree, I’d love to hear your comments either way! Call me names! I don’t care!

Good job with the in depth review. I appreciate the honesty and the fact that you didn't automatically buy into the Final Fantasy hype like many others. I heard that the "uniqueness" of the story as you say is one of the better aspects, but other then that it's apparently not much of an improvement over even FF10.
In my opinion the series has been going progressively downhill since it went 3D, and this game was no exception. I don't think Square even cares anymore, they know if they follow a certain formula then everyone will buy it regardless of how it turns out. I say that the fans should start demanding more for themselves.
@Mite000 you are damn right about the steady decline in FF games in the past ten years. It is like they do not even care anymore. But I'll be honest, I'm SUPER excited for FF Versus 13. Even though the dialog looks pretentious as hell, the setting and characters actually look interesting.
@Crunshii Thanks! I'll make sure to be more of a ruthless bastard in the future. :-)
