Playing Type Zero right now, lots of mixed feelings towards it. The storyline is such convoluted garbage I'm going out of my way to ignore it and focus on what I do like - the school, Class Zero, the music, and the combat.

I hate how you can only have one sidequest active at any one time, and the swingy asshole nature of the game has made me rage quit more than once. (By swingy, I mean I'm beasting through enemies until one goes Rage mode and starts moving like the Flash and one-shotting party members. By asshole nature...well, throwing ludicrously out of place uber monsters at you, auto KOing a character mid-mission because why not, putting chests in areas with continuously spawning enemies so you can't bloody open them, etc.)

The HD port presentation is so erratic - it looks really nice in places, and terribad in others. And I like me some bad voice acting - it can be endearing - but here it kills any sort of serious tone Square was attempting to create.

Despite my complaints, this is the best FF console title since the PS2, but man, that's really not setting the bar too high. I'm platting it and putting it away, no desire to replay for more scraps of "story" here and there.
