I picked it up yesterday, and played it now for 2 1/2 hours, I love it, I like it better the n FFXII so far, I don't know why people have complained about story and cutscenes, I live for them, and they're great, and it has good voice acting, it's fun so far, graphics are awesome. I don't think the loadtimes are that bad for all the complaints, unless they get worse later in the game, but honestly I like them, only because I bought the guide book and use the breaks to check it out, so it kind of works out.
It's very traditional with random battles and turnbased fights, but honestly there is nothing wrong with it, it works well here, some older titles had fewer checkpoints to save and a gazillion random battles and that is what killed it for me, but this seems to do that gameplay well, and the rings beefs up interaction during turnbased fights, plus the cinematography during the fights is quite nice.
I did wish though there was a first person camera view I could switch to(even if I had to stay stationary for it) just to get a better view of some things, the world is rich and detailed.
In the end it's exactly what I thought it would be, and more important it's exactly what I wanted it to be.
