Set in Futuristic time the main Character Squall has just becomed a member of SeeD which is a elite groupe of mercenary that works for money. He is joined by other members of SeeD on his job to assist a group(rinoa) to stop the president of Deling city. His job to help them soon become into an adventure of an lifetime as they learn of the sorceres Edea and her evil doing. I'ver herad many people diss this game but i say screw em, this game rocks!! The graphics are really cool (FMV), In fact this Final Fantasy game has the most FMV up to date. The battle system isn't as good as others i've played but it's kinda simple and takes a while to learn but once you learn how to use it your quite undefeatable in the battle. You can add effects to your attack such as silence, blind, death, poision, etc. You no longer need to buy magic, you now have to draw magic from the enimies and each enimie has certain magic for you to draw from them, you can also draw the GF(summon) from the bosses. The music is pretty okay if you ask me, i've liked some tracks such as: balamb garden, fisherman's horizon, blue field, rinoa's theme, waltz for the moon, where i belong and a song in there called EYES ON ME. The control is very good and so is the view in the battles. It's an overall must buy game without an doubt to what people say!
