Rad review! I've been looking forward to this game, so cant wait to get a copy.
I don't understand why they would create an auto targeting system! Talk about stepping backwards. It sounds like something that would just frustrate the hell out of me.

I loved the Japanese version of this game, although I do have to admit the lack of direction made it sometimes confusing as to what to do next  I didn't find the auto targeting system all that annoying though, it added another layer of strategy by taking that power out of your hands and you had to make decisions around the fact you couldn't choose your target...
Can't wait to grab the English version after Uni is over, time for 100% understanding

The only things from this review I think would really annoy me are the limited inventory (I wanna horde lots of crap, dammit!) and the lack of a quick save. Still, I think I have enough RPG fun to keep me going for a while, so I don't think I'll pick this one up. Looks good, though.

I kinda want this game cause it looks gorgeous, but the "Oldschool traditional jrpg" really turns me off.

Great review, Jahanzeb. It answers pretty much all my questions about the game, and I have to say that I don't think I'll be rushing out to buy this game any time soon. I might possibly buy it one day in the future, but it's not a day one purchase.
FF doesn't mean the same thing to me as it once did ... and even if this is a throwback to the original games in a number of ways, it feels like it's too much of a throwback ... and as if it's a game that has arrived a little too late for me to take much interest in it due to the fact that the series has left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.
Still, not all is lost, it's not as if we're hurting for other RPGs to lend our time to.

The game actually tracks time. You have to talk to Cid in Horne and he'll give you the details.
