Wow, this is some serious Final Fantasy here, because it is the first one on PS2!! This game is very sophisticated but also very challenging. I think to get the most fun (and secret items...) it will be better to get a strategy guide and sit down and study how can you get all of its secrets. The story, very beautiful and the characters have a lot of personalities that you can almost fall in love with them. Seemingly, the Squaresoft company had put a lot of effort into this game as it can be so complicated(especially the cloister of trials), it may take a good 80 hrs or nore to complete the game with your hands on all legendary weapons, secret locations, Al Bhed Primers, and secret aeons(and they are so awesome). This game is for some serious players, and you NEED patience!!
