Okay, you asked for this
I've not much to say about this game yet, as I haven't had much time to play it. I'm only about ten hours in it but maybe I can still tell you something about it.
First, the musics. I've seen reviews about the game where they have not been very thrilled with the musics in it and I mostly agree with them. The musics are not that disturbing though, in my opinion, just not as good as in the previous Fantasies.
Then, the game itself. The main characters: (if there's still someone who didn't know this) Yuna, Rikku and Paine are all women. They form a little sphere hunter group called the Gullwings with a few other people. So, basically they just travel around Spira, 'collecting' spheres. The athmosphere in the game is more relaxed than in FFX and, for instance, you already have an airship in your command in the beginning of the game, and you can take it wherever you wish. The traveling system works the same way as in the previous game. You pick the location from the list and there you go.
To get further in the game, you have to take missions. These can be seen as 'hot spots' in the traveling menu, and you can freely choose where to go. After completing a mission, you're given some rewards.
Then, maybe a few more words about the battle system... As you have probably heard, Square took the job system, seen in FFV and tactics, back to use again. This time it just works with, surprise surprise, spheres. There are six basic dress spheres which anyone can take and these include the familiar mages and the thief. There are some new classes too: the songstress, the gunner and the warrior. Additionally, every character has her own special dress sphere, which take more time to obtain. You can change the dress spheres freely even in combat, and that's definitely a good thing.
I think that's all I can come up with at he moment but feel free to post your own comments and opinions about the game. I may add something once I get back to it...
Oh, and this is the official site, I think, if you're interested.
I hope even some of that makes sense, as it iwas quite late when I typed it...
