Final Fantasy Echoes of Time (Nintendo DS)

I bought this game a few months back when I ran across it and read a bit on the back of the box. With all final fantasy games, and having the original CC for Game cube I thought that this game, combined with wifi online play, would be VERY fun. The storyline arc was great the first time through(abeit really short) and the diablo-style dungeon hacking and item gathering makes for some decent replay however the online community was a downer; there hardly is one! Finding a group in public games is nigh impossible as most games you join imediately shut down and you must go through the whole process over again; not to mention the amount of "lag" you get while hooked to someone else. Creating new items and buffing up old ones to make your gear stronger is very complexed. Overall though the game has a fun factor worth trying. I would recommend this title to anyone who loves to multiplay dungeon hackers but for those looking for the long drama-style the FF titles are known for, you may want to look into getting one of the flagship FF's like 3 or 4. Wait til it hits the $20 bin and you wont be disappointed.

very different game. my SO says its like diablo. hard for me to get used to. good though
