Different yet the Same = another great Final Fantasy game!

In our household we are avid Final Fantasy game fans. We have played all of them with the exception to the online versions. This is why I wanted to purchase this game for our family to play. I was a bit hesitant to purchase this one because of rumors that it wasn't as good as the others. I am now glad I didn't listen to other reviews. Lightning Returns is different in 2 main ways. The first being that you are in a time constraint situation. There are little ways around that though. The guide REALLY helps with that! The other is the battle system is not as good as in recent past versions, however, if done well...it can work out to be a good thing. Basically this game has a learning curve to it. There are small quarks here and there that can be irritating from time to time. The pros outweigh the cons for us. Our 15 year old son hated it the first time he played it. He came back the next day to try it again and found that he likes it now. Personally, I really like it. I am still in the middle of playing it. I failed the first time. It just made me want to try again doing things in a different way this time. Compared to the other FF games, we rank this a 7. Just to let you know how this scale goes: FF7 & 12 are our favorites. With 10-2 being the lowest...of course. If you are a FF fan, you will get that lol. So, if you are a Final Fantasy fan, in my humble eyes, I say go for it and try it out for yourself!Read full review
