I've got the PC version, which apparently has ironed out quite a lot of the XBOX's bugs, so if you look up the PC one it gets some pretty decent reviews.

Anyway, it hasn't quite got to the FFVII place in my heart, but it's damned close. The graphics are excellent, the music is great, the voice-acting is fantastic (with a very few, easily-ignorable exceptions), and the main storyline is ... mostly explained through sidequests, heh.

So far, it is a pretty good and enjoyable game, although the battles can get a bit repetitive at times, but that's only because the game gets a lot harder as you go along. One of the best parts, though, is that you can hire an enormous number of characters to fight with you and a few of them will be unique with their own sidequests, histories and voice-acting.

I haven't finished the game yet, so I don't know if the conclusion lets it down in any way - at the moment, the storyline would be leaving me with a lot of questions if I hadn't jumped on anything that said "spoiler", and I don't know how well the game will tie everything together. So far, though, it's been really good fun!
