Finally a great game for PSP

This game is simply awesome and yes, finally something that cures the long wait for Final Fantasy 13 to be released on PS3.

Forget those cartoonish looking FF series released on the DS - and medicore FF on PSP, or the sad sequel X-2 - This is the closest to a real FF game since FF12. Top notch graphics, FF-worthy storyline, familiar characters and old acquitances from FF VII... and thank goodness a real FF battle system - ONLY BETTER - with real-time actions!

The action portion (attacks, dodge, block) are real-time actions where you go up to a person and attack, or press square or triangle to dodge or block - while some magic and healing are minor menu flipping in the lower corner. I do have one minor complain if anything - sometime in the heat of battle it gets too hectic look at the menu to see exactly which menu you are on, the result is you might have pressed "Potion" a couple times when you meant to press "attack". Well, wasting 100 gil, but no biggie.

Besides the usual FF storyline, yet another action-based side-quest "Misson" system! (love action based side-quest such as hunts and missions, hate card-playing) You can perform many missions right from the beginning to gather materia and other rare items, and if you can fight through the game, yes you can fight through the missions! Completing one mission usually unclocks serveral others, talk about motivation!

Overall, about 7 hours into play and not yet bored one minute. Just an awesome game, and yes Cloud, nice to see you too. Overall, a real big FF game on the smaller PSP screen. Now I am definitely looking forward to FF XIII on PS3.
