In the city that never sleeps, a young sports hero suddenly finds his world shattered, waking up in a strange and distant land. Embarking on a pilgramige with a summoner and her gardiens, the warriors discover that the teachings of the ancient and even their closest friends are not what they seem.

My Review: I really did not have high expectations for this game because I had heard that it was going to be a lot like 8. But, I happened to be in the store on the day it came out, and so I bought it just to see...and it turned out to be the one of the best games I've ever bought. This whole concept of the voiced characters is fabulous, it really gets you into the story like reading the screen can't. The characters are full of depth and surprises, and the graphics and music are gorgeous. For Final Fantasy's PS2 debut, I don't think Square could have done a better job.

Game Rating: Second
