Advantages: Great storyline, wide range of abilities and some of the best in game characters with alot of humour

Disadvantages: The 4 disks, it could use just 1 lenghty one but then again it is Playstation 1.

This games follows Squall (or whatever you wish to call him) on his quest to defeat a Sorceress called Edea. He is followed by his team mates - Zell, Selphie, Rinoa, Quistis and Irvine. The storyline is brilliant as it just keeps developing all the time.

The game comes in 4 Disks. Each one continuing the game respectively like 1, 2, 3 and finally 4 as the conclusion to the game.

In the game you start of in the Balamb Garden which will become you eventual base. It is your school and a place where youll find alot of useful information.

In this game you play the new Cards side game. Collect cards, play them against other characters and wins better cards.

There are summons in this game - GFs as theyre called here. You can get them buy "drawing" them or beating them in battle.

The Draw system is a new part of this game which I find quite good compared to any other of the series. This system incorporates the use of magic and GFs. When you fight foe you cam Draw magic from them. If you draw 3 Fires then you can use Fire 3 times. There are a wide range of Magic is this game.

Overal a good game but could use some advancements.

Summary: A good game.
