but it is awesome is it not??

Just a reminder people: please keep things civil.

If you have a problem with someone you can either work it out amongst yourselves in the thread or private messages in a mature manner or let a mod handle it.

Do not resort to name calling.

 I was blown away with the combat system, how intuitive it is. It thrown you in to the first battle with 20 guards almost right away and it feel kinda like God of War in some aspect. 

But then you get to customize your magics, wow. and Summons (a bit random, but you will find yourself praying for one during one of the boss battle) looks GORGEOUS!

 What I really didn't find that great is the leveling up system, It depends on the dice you row, so I got leveled up twice in 1 battle and then nothing in about 2 hours.

 Although once you get good at it, leveling up your magic is more important than leveling up yourself.

Oh, my friend, cried during the ending. And she was never that big a FFVII fan. 

Con:

Random battle isn't random, you will learn to avoid it if you know what you are doing. 

There are TONS of side-missions, but they end too quickly and you don't feel like it's accomplishing much at all, other than a way to kick ass and leveling yourself up.

Biggest Con.. I STILL HAVEN'T KICKED Sephiroth's ass yet. DAMNIT 

I'd probably give it 9.5, slightly better than GoW.

WTF do you expect? Its a STORY DRIVEN EXPERIENCE, therefore its supposed to be the continuation of the game(god of war).

Ofcourse they will be similar..

Can't wait :D Played the demo a few times, never gets old.

@kingofwale

WOW your just building up the hype even more!!!!!!!!

can't wait, they better release it in EU soon

bTW IS PSP Region-Free if it is I'll IMPORt it from USA!

I don't think Halo 3 should have scored as high either.  Galaxy was truly different from M64 and Sunshine, however.

 Yeah, PSP is region-free. I would definitely say Import-it

Well, here's a little bit more on the combat system.

On the bottom right corner, you have your melee attacks (the one Zak is using right now), if you scroll through using Shoulder Button, you can put different magic spell there. For me, I have Melee, Heavy Attack (this one where you jumps up and strikes down), Triple Flame attacks (you generate 3 balls of flames), Lighting attacks, Ice-attack, Healing and then potion.

Each magic can be leveled up and you can combine them to form more powerful one. I believe my Flame one also give me 500% health boost. It's FRICKING AWESOME.

On the top left:

You have a roll of 1-7, if you get 777, you level up, Some of them give you Summon, some give you healthy, AP, MP boost,  I believe if you get 222, it level up your second socket of magic. and so on.

So this way, it encourage you to battle

@kingofwale

WOW thanks, DEFINITE import now, from movietyme.com

Looks amazing, I hope FF13 will have a similar battle system!!

>Looks amazing, I hope FF13 will have a similar battle system!!

Yeah, I have a feeling it might be similar to this, (from the 1 in-game screen shot that's out there. lol). I personally HATED FFXII's combat system, for once you don't feel the need to actually do anything at all in a battle, you feel grossly left out.

Although this might just turn FF into Star Ocean combat system in a way. lol (not that I'm complaining)
