First of all, i don't care that the critics say about it being too linear and not true to the series. I actually Liked the mostly linear parts of the game because the story and characters are the most important parts of any Final Fantasy. Secondly, there is a reason the game holds your hand through the first half: it's easily the hardest Final Fantasy game to date! I couldn't find anything that would deter a perent from preventing their kids from playing this game apart from some mild language and violence, which is a given in any T rated game, however, most people without fast reflexes and a comlpete understanding of the battle system may have your kids crying in your lap eventually.

it has profenty like he-l da-n and a-s

Man, I love this game! It looks beautiful on an HD TV and it plays amazingly! I'm a big fan of the final fantasy series, and this is one of the best!

i have always loved ff and STILL cosplay cloud strife... this game is epic...

This game is very high fantasy with good moral themes. The violence is really a non issue I play this with my 5 year old and he thinks of it as playing a video game and never attempts to "pretend Final Fantasy" as he does with superheros etc.etc. It is actually fairly squeaky clean compared to the actions and sayings he gets from the schoolyard. Way too complicated for a child to play alone without frustration but when discussed can help enhance problem solving skills.

The game has cliched but somewhat likeable story. The combat system makes the games very easy for the autobattle system will pick the best options and only sometimes requiring you change a few things. It has some mild profanity. Still the game is good but not close to being the best in the series.

Epic and highly entertaining. You'll be playing this game for hours.

I just i wanted a Xbox 360 and play that game. It's not that bad!
