Square Enix hit the nail on the head with this one plain and simple. Right from the start you will notice this little UMD is packed full of content. Two different Story modes, quick matches, multiplayer, extensive bios, the ability to record fights, and more.
The basic idea is a fighting/rpg style game where as before every match you choose your character and equip them with different items, gear, and summons that you get from playing that will modify your stats. Once thats done you go into the match with your character and fight. The fighting is really simple to pick up but fairly hard to master. The basics are that you build bravery points by using bravery attacks. the higher the points get the more damage you will do when you use an actual hp strike. Also while raising your own bravery you can simultaneously lower your opponents points by landing your attacks. The skill comes from learning when to use bravery or hp attacks as when you use hp attacks your points diminish and if your opponent catches you off guard there points will skyrocket. At the end of each battle you will collect experience, items, etc. As you level up eventually you will unlock new powers and can use better gear.
Theres a lot more to it so I will just get into the pros/cons:
Pros: Beautiful graphics, plenty of characters all brought back perfectly, Good voice acting, epic music, and more content in one UMD then I've ever seen.
Cons: No online multiplayer!!!, the first story mode can get old (but the second one is way better), and it can get insanely hard sometimes even on the easier settings.
All in all if you are a FF fan I believe you will love this as it was made as the ultimate fan service project. There is soooo much more then I was able to share and I label this game a MUST rent, and highly approve of as a definite buy.
