Just to let you know the release date is now set as Feb 23rd.

I have been playing this none stop for the last 4 days now as i have the American version and right now i definately think that although the story is far from the best FF ever, the gameplay and the direction they are taking the game in is excellent.

The best thing about the new game is the customisation, anyone can wield any type of weapon which are bows,swords, samurai swords, ninja swords, guns, greatswords, bows, maces, staffs and some more.

The only part where i really would like to see customisation taken that step further is the actual change in appearance of character when it comes to armour similar to ffXI in which the boots, legs, body, head and gloves all change appearnace, where in this one it is limited to weapon and shield.

Anyhow thats all i have time to write for now, but on a final note if you like Final Fntasy games, definately pick it up! Even those of you who like games such as KOTOR as well as the turn based system has evolved into more so an action RPG than which was a bold move but it pulls it off perfectly.

I don't know, it's been out here and everyone is raving about it, but really I've never been a fan of the Final Fantasy games..

And I don't like using my PS2 very much, all I plan on using it for now is Guitar Hero until it's on the 360, and Okami. It's just such a step down after using the 360.

I will try and post some more tonight when i get back from work, however if you have any questions on the game, unsure about something etc just ask and ill try and answer it.

As for your comment on i being a step down from the 360 however, all i can say is WTF. I have not had this much fun playig a game in all thetime i hav owned my 360, its a step down i graphics yet, but a huge leap in gameplay.

Oh and yes Okami is looking amazing :) If i dont get it before its pal release then i will be buying it straight away.

Well, by my comment I meant the interface and the controller. The PS2 controller annoys the piss out of me. It's so small. I'm used to the big 360/XBOX one after so long. Add on top of that the fact I've not liked Final Fantasy games in the past and I just don't feel like spending my money on another try..

Though, if my mail rental service gets it in I'll probably give it a go.
