I`ll be honest up front, I don`t play these for the story as they adhere to the teenage girl crowd most of the time. (understatement) But one thing Iv`e always liked that SQUARE does with this series is everything from the battle mechanic to the accessorizing of equipment, weapons, magic, and character placement. With this new installment, much like the last, I loved seeing which Paragims matched best with which monsters and infusions of monsters with the same paragims to level them up quicker to bypass the crystalarium was a nice touch. Even the story was good because of the time travel element; usually this is a recipe for disaster (movies and games alike) but it really worked here and gave all the characters from the previous title great premise from what they did last time out. The paradox puzzles were especially a welcome sight too and gave you a break from the main quest mode, side quests included. I enjoyed this title immensly and must say that this series starting with 7th definetly knows how to squeeze every color they can into their game which is an art form unto it`s own, 8 out of 10 for this kid, very good game
