"A great game!!" on November 12, 2005 by HeiLong

Pros: amazing story line, crap load of strategies and....ADDICTING!!!

Cons: ADDICTING!! and after when you beat the game it gets a bit boring.....then again, which portable, GBA game isnt like that?

Summary: The beginning is sadly a bit boring in terms of game play but the story line is great....and essential for understanding the game. Im currently up to the 4th boss and it is great!!!
Basically you create a clan in a fantasy world that was brought to life by a little boy and you, Marche, are trapped in his world. Here you meet friends and with your clan, you go out on missions. Your main goal is to destroy all of the magicaly crystals that keep this fantasy world in tact. Along the way, youll find friends that you knew in the real world....

There are many many MANY classes of jobs that your characters can take up depending on which race they are (5 races total). each class has it's own techniques which can either help your allies in battle or devastate your enemies. It requires thinking and an imagination because you can change the job of your characters and give them items so that they can perform a wide variety of techniques, which in turn creates a whole nether of strategms!!!

plus....during the parts where you the characters talk amoungst themselves....kinda like a cinematic....the characters actually move and react to the situation at hand!!!

This game was....very well done....and again....the only bad thing is that it gets boring AFTER you beat the game....which takes an average of 72 hours, approx. 276 missions....
yeah....it's keeping me preoccupied at times when I have no school work to do or friends to go out with =P

"boooring" on February 11, 2005

Pros: just like with most FF games it has nice graphics and a cool storyline but thats about it...

Cons: its the most boringest game ever. i've always hated FF's style of battling where you just select move after move after move and you don't really "battle" but in this game thats all you do! really wasn't worth 35 bucks.
