I'm glad to hear that. The farthest I got before returning the game was just after the fall of the fal'Cie. I guess that amount of play wasn't quite enough to get a good feel of the game as a whole.

Also, where the hell does Vanille get her first weapon from. It looks like she just picks it up off a random spot on the ground. And does Hope ever upgrade from his boomerang? Or does he just get better boomerangs?

As far as I am, Hope still uses better boomerangs. Though whether you go for different weapons or start upgrading your first weapons becomes up to you.

And yes, Vanille picks up a random....fishing rod....thing...off a statue in a Pulse fal'Cie.

Even though the game is not interested in telling you anything, it seems to be pointing towards Vanille being from Pulse.

Nice to see this game's getting pretty good after the long tut. I'm starting to look forward to buying this and a 360 (can't afford a PS3

) eventually but hopefully this summer.

About an hour in, my impressions:
-Snow's theme song is awesome.
-I know Lightning is supposed to be based on Cloud but all of her awkward pauses and military ridiculosity reminds me of Squall instead.
-Vanille is really, really annoying. According to the reviews I've read, the entire cast is completely likable by the end of the game, so I'm reserving judgment.
-I hope that by the end of the game I'll be able to use more than 2 attacks per character.
-I honestly can't tell if I'm getting any extended benefit from my battles so far other than 50 potions and 10 phoenix downs.
-When did Sazh and Lightning meet? I mean, he's been following her around as if they're friends but they treat each other like strangers. And I don't think they've been introduced.
-Kinda confused about Snow's jacket. The design on the back disappears when he leaves combat. Is that ever explained?
-I don't know where Hope got his boomerang from. Also, BOOMERANGS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY.

Will continue sometime in the near future. I just wish they'd let me goddamn level up already.

Your almost out of it. Just hang in there a little longer.

If I could of took back the game for a full refund last night, I would of...it bored the hell out of me for the first 3 hours(had no idea what was going on, battles were just press select, etc...).

Now that I've gotten further, the combat and Sazh are keeping me entertained, but I'm sure plenty of people may shelve it.

Depends entirely on rather or not you can sit through 3 hours gameplay time worth of tut after tut.

Rent it first. Then buy it if you like it.
