 Final Fantasy? June 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As far as a Final Fantasy game goes, I am not sure how much this qualifies. The reason i say this is that, using an online guide maybe once, i finished the game in just under 12 hours. The game was very short. The characters we pretty good, but it would have been nicer if your other members did more while you controlled one. I also agree that the point of view was a little hard to use. Dont get me wrong, it was a good game, the biggest thing was it was too short, and in a way, almost too easy for a Final Fantasy game.
Needed a pause, and a quick save June 15, 2008

This game is really fun to play, and the characters and graphics are super cute. If you prefer action/adventure RPG's (like the ____ of Mana and Summon Night series,and Zelda) as opposed to turn-based and strategy types, you will probably enjoy Ring of Fates. Each character has a variety of different moves to choose from in battles, so you don't have to feel like you are just mashing the attack button until all the monsters go away (although, you probably can get by doing that, if you really want to). The story and general formula (dungeon, boss fight, back to town for supplies and info, repeat) are nothing new, but considering it only takes 20-30 hours to complete, you probably won't get bored of it before you finish.
The number one problem for me was that this game isn't really very portable. There is no pause. Even when you switch to the menu screens, monsters will still appear and attack you on the other screen. There is also no quick save function. You can just close the DS (assuming your battery isn't running out) and it goes into suspend mode, but when you open it back up, you'll be immediately immersed in monster fighting action. In short, it's not very good for playing on the bus, on lunch breaks or for an hour or less in between other activities.
I had also hoped to use the stylus more (like in Zelda: Phantom Hourglass) but most game play is done with the buttons and the the d-pad, and switching over to the stylus for the few tasks you need it for is kind of awkward.
This game could have been better, but I still had a lot of fun playing it and would recommend it if you liked the above mentioned games.
 Better than its predecessor FFCC June 2, 2008
After owning this game for a little over 3 weeks and having beaten it twice, I can say that it's a game worth getting for people who enjoy the Final Fantasy series and FFCC on the gamecube. The annoying part of the game in the original FFCC is gone in this game, you don't have to carry a chalice to protect yourself from the miasma anymore however there is a secret level in the game that you unlock (when you beat the game once) that is reminiscent of FFCC.
The graphics in this game are stunning. The controls are easy to get used to once you're playing through the game for 30 minutes - 1 hour. Each character has his/her own tribe ability which lends itself to solving small puzzles with each ability in the levels.
The story mode itself is very short - you could beat the game in 10 hours , less if you don't bother leveling up much. The story in the game itself is really involving and some parts were surprisingly sad (since I thought this was like a kiddie version of FF like FFCC). Most of the bosses have the same methodology of beating them - but when you go through the game for a third time they present much more of a challenge. I've only played through the story mode, but I've heard that multiplayer mode is done well and is a lot of fun. The only downside to the game is the repetitive hack and slash, but that's not too bad. I recommend getting it.
A great game!!! May 18, 2008
I really enjoyed this game. Game play is alittle different. You can gather different recipes to make certain objects like weapons, armor, and goods as such as iron, silk etc. I like the fact that its live fighting instead of turn based. You can switch between characters and has mild stylus play. The only thing that I wish that they done was give more spells or have a way to learn new spells. Other than that its a great game for teens to adults!

I got this game for my Birthday which was just a couple days ago. Umm ... honestly haven't been a BIG fan of Final Fantasy aside from the Final Fantasy : Advent Children movie. This game is kinda a more different version of Zelda. But it has it fun moments but after awhile you get bored of it. Sad that the enemy guy had to kill the kids Father.
