Continues the series' long-standing tradition of quality in one of the most compelling RPGs ever. This is the last Final Fantasy game that will appear on the PlayStation, and SquareSoft has definitely saved its best for last.
A masterpiece of an adventure game. For anyone not to fall in love with it would truly amaze me. Everything is set just right and you are drawn into the story right from the very offset.

It just does everything in the most solid way possible. An intriguing storyline, characters you actually care about, tried and true FF gameplay, a memorable soundtrack, beautiful, polished graphics, and not many crazy "systems" to learn and master.

A triumph of style with a touch of whimsy, this Fantasy is the perfect finale to an era of PS RPG gaming.

There are so many humorous moments in the game, but at the same time, many emotional moments as well. Throughout my journey, I connected with the characters, as they truly came alive for me. Few games were as engrossing as this, as it really captivated me with its fantastic story and entertaining twists.

The twists and turns of the plot are brought to life on screen in a way that leaves you itching to find out what's round the next corner.

One of the best games in the coveted series and one of the top RPGs of the year.

Doesn't offer very much that is new. The game is more than a little formulaic at times, using rehashed bits from other Final Fantasy games and not taking them any further.

моя любимая часть финалки, играл в детстве и перепрошил сейчас. офигенный милый сюжет. трогательные истории и крутые персонажи. просто бомба, очень круто

It's an average final fantasy game. Good enough to play, but definitely not a masterpiece or anywhere near what 7 and 10 were

Het spel is te wazig, maar het is acceptabel als je de voorkeur geeft aan draagbaarheid.

wow im amazed this got so many positive reviews . this is the first FF game in the series i did not care for . the cutesey moronic graphic style really turned me off but i plodded through and beat the game . the story didnt do much for me eather even though Vivi was kinda intresting not much about what was going on hooked me. im tryin to remember the story more since its been 10 years or so since i beat this . i do remember how freekin annoyed i was about the back attacks and the pincer attacks which i swear to god happend like 50% of the time . i kid you not i do remember i had that happen 13X in a **** just wanted to spike my controller into the TV. then your main charicter looks like a metrosexaul monkey which i just hated how he looked and him personally . about the only possitive thing is you can have 4 players in your party . i really dont even know how or why i finished this game . my guess was that it was sqaure at the time who back then almost every RPG they made was GOLD . this certainly is not.

Das schlechteste Final Fantasy, was ich bis heute gespielt habe. Mega nervige Charaktere, schlechte Story, dumme Dialoge und abschreckend kindischer Stil. Nach den Meisterwerken 7 und 8 war das hier ein echt krasser Schock. Ich habe keine Ahnung, wie dieser Schrott zu einem der erfolgreichsten Teilen der Serie werden konnte.
