Playing it with my partner as well, though we haven’t gotten to start it up yet because of raids. We want to spend an entire evening savoring the beginning, rather than trying to fit it in between work and raid. We’ve been waiting for this for about 8 years now, since we played FF10 together. (FF12 was a mess and we couldn’t stand to play it, what a shame)

Spinks said, “I do notice though that playing console games with a friend/partner can be dull if it is your turn to watch. It’s very unlike playing either a 2-person game where you both have controllers, or playing PC games where you each have a computer.”

And then there was the Gamecube’s Final Fantasy:Crystal Chronicles. It was a beautiful game and a pleasure to play as a single-player, but if you wanted to multiplay it with another person it required a GBA for each player (plus obligatory GCN to GBA cable) with one player relegated to the role of Chalice bearer, unless everyone was willing to take turns carrying it.

Great review of the game. I bought this yesterday as well and am in Chapter 3 and there is still tutorials popping up, but I agree that they are very necessary to learn the complex combat system.

I think my favorite thing is being able to switch roles in the middle of battle.

Well time to run. Ciao!
