Ive only just started, but it seems like story is dialed down and the battles are dialed up.

You're a kid in what I assume is the "real world" and then you get sucked into Ivalice, so already not the best story lol... then you kind of just fall in with these warriors and go from there.

The graphics are amazing for what its being played on though, I cant believe it. I think it looks as good as or better than the original playstation version haha.

The job system and items, etc look just as deep and gameplay (the grids) looks pretty similar to the original.

Also has kind of an interesting feature called judging where... there are these judges that watch your battles and give you certain rules. If you beat the battle without breaking the rules, then you get bonus items. For example, one battle said I couldnt use any items. Another said no using ice attacks. Though I read that one problem is when "guest" characters are with your group (you cant control them), they dont heed the rules and can screw you over. At any rate.

it looks to be a fun diversion, wtih the same FFT gameplay, but I wouldnt get it looking to get some deep story.
