Great DS Fantasy
This isn't going to be a review, more an overall of what I did so far made really short. So you start the game as a dark knight named Cecil on your way to destroy a town and steal a crystal for your king. Your methods however make you and your crew wonder if this fight is the good one. As the story develops you meet Kain your best friend, Dragoon of profession and Rosa, your love, White mage of profession. From this point on you will keep meeting new characters and changing party members (you don't control it) and as you go on you keep seeing how much this game improved from the previous DS title that was good true but still lacked quite a few things.

I'm not saying that this title isn't lacking from stuff but still it's a major improvment over it's predecessor. First you will all be happy to know that you get one save in the dungeons (hell yeah anyone) but only one and in a specific room each time. And your spells are learned by leveling not by buying all those spells (gets expensive in FFIII if you have mages). And your party will always be configured so that you have all the good members to continue your path. The characters are also charming and interesting and you will actually pay attention to the main plot unlike FFIII where the story wasn't that great.

Multiplayer, yes actual multiplayer, not like FF III where you get to send messages to your friends. You can use Whyt (you encounter his owner Rydia early on in the story) to fight via Wi-Fi against people around the world!. Didn't really use though.

So that's it for the moment (More and it's a review). I'm planning on playing like 10 hours before doing a final review and I will try to share meanwhile all my impressions of this game. For the moment I'm back in Baron's catle for the people playing it.
So far so good so greatest addition to my library of DS games since the world ends with you!

To finish here's a trailer of the game showing some GCI scenes and explaining the story a bit.
