Okay, wow, this game is horrible with the money balance...my characters are leveled up very decently and are higher than the recommended level for where I'm at, but I need to buy new equipment that costs over 30,000 GIL which is going to equal about 2 hours of just mindlessly killing enemies...I don't even feel like playing now :(



actually makes me want to get it now. i've played FF since 1 was released for NES. one thing I haven't liked, is how prgressively easier they have gotten. X was a breeze...I think my party got wiped out once all the way through?

Ridiculous.

Reason for this, is the money/leveling up has become unbalanced. I guess I'm the type that liked to spend a few mindless hours wailing on enemies to get cash and level up....for some reason, it made the game a bit more intimate; and finally being able to purchase that new upgrade made it more worthwhile...you would actually notice how much less wailing you would have to do!

I think the games for the newer systems have been made easier for the younger kids that play them these days; and to compensate for the average lessening of attention spans (I actually still read a lot...if you guys can believe that!). I think game companies feel that if players can't blaze through a game relatively easily, they won't be satisfied and will give up if they actually have to spend time improving their characters a bit before they can progress with the story.

I am about 25 hrs in and am just getting to the part where ....

!!!SPOILERS!!!










Where you have to equip the dawn shard and put it in the pedistol. You are then teleported to a room where a bit statue comes to life behind you and you have to kill him. I can do this fine but in the next room there are 3 dragons and they are kicking my ass left and right. My guys are all ~level 28 but I just get my ass pummeled when I try to do anything against them.

Who's played it? Do you enjoy it?

I should get my copy via UPS tomorrow morning. I personally don't think I'll like the new battle system, but we'll see how it turns out.

YEAH!

Still thinking of buying PS3 or not... humm...
