I'm gonna need more in depth review from you if you want your score to be counted.

Aye not many games get the good treatment...but I have noticed most ranking threads are better now (there's a few exceptions ala RDR and the likes) then the last season of ranking games last year, especially in terms of the amount of bickering going on.

okay john.

5/10 points.

good:

caracters are interesting

atmosphere

good soundtrack

- problems with framerate

- presentation

- the story is so simple and not exciting

- four disc are bad

- sequences of production is mediocre

Had it then bought on the first day and was disappointed. The role play offers nothing special in my eyes.

because of that: 5 points

^^ Still a bit less then I would like but thanks for expanding.

pros

Good story at least in my opinion.

I enjoyed the old school combat though only because its been a rare sight this gen.

1000 year dreams

Not to difficult, not to easy.

Cons

Random battles long load times artificially elongated the game a lot.

4 discs though thats only a minor nuisance. 

combat started getting repetitive by the end of the game

Score 8.5

pros :

1. has a very gripping story , the best i have seen in a jrpg ever. 

2. the dreams are some of the best written stories i have read, some of them are so moving that u could cry from that. no other jrpg comes even close to the emotional strings this games pulls at.

3. the battle system , made u actually pay attention if u wanted to get perfects and do extra damage, not the normal push button and move on.

4. the way u learn abilities , reminded me of ff9. by using gear to learn them.

5. all the extra content the game gives u , makes this a game u can put a ton of hrs in, with ease.

6. the music is well done throughout the game

7. the dlc the game has is good, the extra dungeon was cool. the last boss could be a pain in the ass if u didnt have your characters properly leveled up.  

8. good graphics

9. best jrpg i have ever played , i have beaten the game over 12 times since its release and i continue to play it to this day.

10. a very good ending  :)

cons :

1. some of the voices could have been better

overall a : 10/10

9.2 best JRPG behind Persona 3/4 and Tales of Vesperia.
