The game is amazing. Don't listen to these guys saying that its lost the FF vibe. They have forgotten what it means to take it slow. Everyone is so use to these fast pace games that they start scratching themselves when they have to wait a couple minutes for a cutscene. The game moves slowly. It builds. The combat is amazing if you don't use the accessories (which basically make the game easy mode). I've found a ton of different combos to take out smaller mobs in one rotation, but you have to set those up unless you want to wait bigger CDs.
Sure its rated M and it does have some mature themes and scenes, but it doesn't ruin anything unless you wanted your kid to play.
Sit back, get immersed, and play some Final Fantasy.
