I was at my friend's house the other day, and he told me about how he got a Final Fantasy game for his GBA. I was pretty interested, so I started a file on it. After I figured out what was going on, the game got really fun. Anybody else play it? I'm thinkin about withdrawing from my ski trip funds to go buy it.

Anyone who is freaked out by Harry Potter will burn Square-Enix's offices down (or EA games, which is their US distributor)

I played it... I'm not to thrilled about the "Laws" thing, but it's not as annoying as I had guessed.

I think they sorta broke the fourth wall, which I'm also not appreciative of...

I own it, and used to play it all the time, but after I beat it, it got kinda boring.

Breaking the fourth wall... Acknowledging your audience... I feel like they did that... Maybe they didn't... That's just how I felt with the whole "I got sucked into final fantasy" thing... Like, they knew about the video games and became a part of it, and that was the video game I was playing... It's just a bit silly, in my opinion...

So... is it good to play and more importantly good enough to buy? Is it good clean, healthy fun except for the magic stuff? I'm thinking about it but I'm not sure yet. I heard good stuff about it from some of my friends, but I want to get a Christian perspective on it.

Yeah, I think it worth the money for some people. Depending on how long it holds your attention. The game can be very overwhelming at first and repetitive at times. The game takes around 25 hours to beat and can last up to over 75 is your trying to complete all the missions. So, if your an Final Fantasy or RPG or going on a long road trip, I'd recommend. Yet, in my personal opinion there still are a lot better GBA RPGs out there; such as... Fire Emblem, Mario and Luigi, Golden Sun, and Tactics Ogre: Knights of Lodis. Don't get me wrong, it's still an enjoyable game for me, but I enjoy the other GBA RPGs more.

Ok, it's a fairly clean good. During most of the battles you technically are knocking out your opponent and not killing them. Yet, there are unlawful where players can die in combat. The violence is mild, but there's something about alcohol reference? I don't remember encounter that. I dunno, there is a tavern or pub in the game; I guess that's what it is. Anyways, the game has your basic group of magic attacks; elemental, dark, light, and summons. Now, the story is basically an Alice in Wonderland thing. Four outcast kids open an ancient book from the local store and are thrown into a dream world that is similar to the Final Fantasy game. So, that's the just of it.



I give it... an 8.4/10
