I actually think people new to the series would like it more. Then you would not be comparing it the whole time w/ past greatness. Personal I though as a game it was very good. The gameplay was spot on, and imo that is the most important part. It lack in that it lack previous FFs feeling of vastness. In fact I always felt just alittle cramped.
