Final Fantasy Anniversary Edition

"One good remake."

Introduction - One good remake by SquareEnix. It can show the later generations the start of Final Fantasy. Good for strategy-type, RPG based players. One great game! Try it!

Gameplay (8/10) Nice gameplay, no flaws especially during battles. But, you cant change jobs during the story. Like, from Thief to Black Mage, NO, NO, NO! But you can upgrade the jobs sometime in the game. That's what makes it unique. Since it's Final Fantasy, some parts should not be acceptable. Like walking on lava, on spikes and everything. And especially, monsters. Many different problems awaits you in this game.

Story (10/10) All Final Fantasy stories are GREAT and SURPRISING, and enjoyable. You can really relate in the story like, saving others, being the hero and everything. Many great things here in this game. Aside from the main storyline, you can try the extension of the game, shown in different places around the Final Fantasy world, also shown in the walkthroughs.

Graphics (8/10) In most parts of the game, it's still 2D, but with enhanced resolution. However, some cinematics is in Full 3D like the first cinematic in the game, before the main menu. It's ASTONISHING! Perfect for the PlayStation Portable, since the PlayStation Portable have a very high resolution.

Sounds (9/10) Sounds are great, classical songs by the great Nobuo Uematsu, composer of the songs. It really suites the game. You'll love it. Well, if you love it, you can record or download it! Haha. If you are after the sounds, BUY it! but if on other parts, such as genre, graphics, etc... It's completely your choice.

Playtime (8/10) It should take you about 2-4 weeks to finish it 100%, but the game is enjoyable so it receives 8 out of 10. Many great things to discover in that 2-4 weeks so try it!

Replayability (8/10) Finishing the game once is enough, but if you feel another batch of playing it, it's your choice. As for my suggestion, do different challenges, such as, using one character to complete the game, and many others.

Buy or Rent?! As my opinion, BUY it, but if you don't feel the genre of the game, then don't. There are many great games aside from Final Fantasy. You can try other Final Fantasy games like the Final Fantasy: War of the Lions, also a strategy game or the Monster Hunter Series, one great RPG/Strategy game.
