I didn't mind the characters and found the graphics to be great.  My major problem was the horribe battle system and the leveling up process.  The items, gold and stores were useless aswell.


Once I saw the graphics on an HDTV I tended to agree, but having played the majority of it on an SDTV, it was utter crap.  while serviceable, everything was blurred to hell, so bad I couldn't read half the words.  It sucked.

I'm curious what you liked about the characters though, all I could see was generic, one-dimensional cliches.  The whiny emo kid who matures, the Stereotypical Black comedian who's just hiding his sorrow about losing his kid, the hero who learns the hard way that being a hero is hard, kooky spice turns outt o be more than she appears, Mysterious badass turns out to be a heartless bitch, and the main character is just a cloud wannabe "I was in the military until they clashed with my values, so I went rogue."

About as cliche as it gets without being actual cardboard cutouts :P

The whiny emo kid who matures- *cough* Tidus *cough*

the Stereotypical Black comedian who's just hiding his sorrow about losing his kid- *cough* Barret Wallace *cough*

  the hero who learns the hard way that being a hero is hard- *cough* Cloud Strife *cough* *cough* Squall Leonhart *cough* *cough* Vaan *cough*

Mysterious badass turns out to be a heartless bitch - *cough* Scarlet *cough*

  kooky spice turns out to be more than she appears- *cough* Yuffie Kisaragi *cough* *cough* Rikku *cough* *cough* Eiko Carol *cough*

 and the main character is just a cloud wannabe "I was in the military until they clashed with my values, so I went rogue."- That's the point, Lightning is meant to be a female counterpart to Cloud.

So, tell me again, in effect, you are trashing the entire Final Fantasy series, due to the fact that characters similar to these have all appeared, some even multiple times, in past Final Fantasy games. Huh.

As for my thoughts on the game itself, well, see Griffin's.
