I've already finished it twice and loved it :) it's a little slow at the beginning depending on what origin u choose but once it get's going and u start to learn more about ur companions etc it's a lot of fun.. one of the best rpg's I've played in a while actually.
I actually think the FF games could learn a lot from this game about how ur companions should act etc.. they each feel like they have their own reason's for being there and are not just there to help u for no real reason other than being a different class etc
