If you haven't played the original this game is nonsense. I played and loved the original and this is garbage. Strictly linear (plays much like the heinous ffxiii), very tedious, and little/no reward. Graphics often lack detail, and the mouth movement must have been headed by an amateur team - it's hard to ignore. [SPOILER] It presented a cheap, unoriginal story line, which is overused in order for producers to rewrite stories with endless varieties purely to be a cash grab. Kudos on the Honeybee Inn sequence.
