pros:
great graphics - it's your standard xbox360 graphics. nice cutscenes, nice background, etc
good music - the music is good, although sometimes i find myself not even noticing it...(is that a bad thing?)
has lots of different things to do - over 60 hrs worth of gameplay, including all sidequests. probably 70-80 if i did the 2 optional dungeons too.
decent voice acting - a lot of people seem to hate lymle, sarah, and meracle for their voices. i personally never hated lymle and meracle cuz their voices are just so cute and fit their characters perfectly. sarah on the other sounded like a guy speaking with a falsetto tone...
item creation - i had the most fun inventing recipes. you basically just put up to three chars into a group and let them brainstorm. depending on their stats (stats as in their affinity to a certain type of inventing...example smithing, cooking, artistry, etc), they will invent a brand new recipe for you to use!
the sidequests - completing the shop orders were really fun. they were difficult, without a doubt, but i did spend most of my time trying to do them all.
private actions - it was FUN watching these. especially the ones involving meracle and edge. it was really cute and makes you wanna go "awwwww"
the endings - special bonus endings for each char, depending on how much they like you.
cons:
gathering materials to complete quests take a long time, up until the middle of the second disk
edge's whole character development - basically, after a certain event, edge becomes depressed little beeyatch. he becomes emo. he hates himself, he hates the world, he keeps blaming himself...GOD i hated him so much that i actually skipped a cutscene...for the FIRST TIME.
no warning for certain events - at the second world, if you don't check a guide, you'll be surprised to find that you just lost a bunch of sidequests after a certain event happens. if you're really into achievement points, you'll be so frustrated
