I hope the story makes up for the sub-par battle system. That crap they released before this made me loose a little respect for the franchise. The crap I'm refering to is the action game following vincent valentine. It was so bad I can't even remember the name of it. Come on Square Enix, don't fail me on this.
Yeah I picked it up on halloween, and it was pretty slow to start off, but once you get to setup all your gambits and such the new battle system really shines. Just give it a chance.
