Big name, big game and big fan following...it's bound to be a game widely discussed!
As we seem to have a thread for most of the big games, I thought we may as well have one for this behemoth of a game - so if you have any ideas, favourite ways to play the game or just want to pass comment on what already appears to be a fantastic and absorbing game - please post here.

first off...I'm liking the combat system now - no definite turn based combat? Action seems to be constant even though you have to select your moves. Brilliant?

Only one who didnt need to man up was Lightning though in fairness.
Mission 62 gave me some jip, but I did it fairly easily in the end. Just upgrade a few of the mag resist items and equip them. I know it sounds simple, but so few people do it. Each of my chars had about 66% magic resist on, which turns their moves into nul basically.
Use Aegisol and other shroud before battle. Start out with 3 SAB, and then debuff them as much as you can. Use 3 ravagers when they have reduced the enmies mag resitance. As soon as it breaks, go COM, COM, COM if the enemy has reduced pyhs resist or com, rav, rav still.
Getting 5 starts should be fairly easy, though you may need to just complete it then get the gold watch and come back for 5 stars.

finished chapter 7 on wednesday night, strange chapter, felt a bit like boss after boss, although the actual boss at the end wasnt exactly hard to fell, just took a while to do it! havent started chapter 8 yet, gonna have a crack at it this evening!
chapter 8 was seriously short! interesting developmenets though. on 9 now, near end of it by the feel of the atmosphere, it'll have to wait til tuesday now though, work work work, bah!
I'm actually gutted I never got around to finishing it before I left for uni. I'm just onto the third disc and I guess that's where I shall be until Christmas. Sad times :(
3rd disc? I only had one...

Only bought this last week and really haven't had too much time to play it yet but I'm surprised to find myself enjoying it. Graphically the cut-scenes are astonishing but I was really irritated at them being shown during the intro, it ruins that wow factor that you should be looking forward to in these games.
Certainly at the beginning there seems to be a very clear FF VII influence, starting on a train and launching right into the action but the game itself just seems to be repeatedly hitting X to attack at the moment and I don't know what the hell is going on regarding the story. Just seems to be some kind of holocaust metaphor.
