    I just got up to the third chapter, I think. I don’t want to say any spoilers so let’s say I’ve left the green and am now in the blue.

    Crystarium is really cool and it reminds me a lot of FF10′s spheres.

      If you havent played the game, it might sound like that, but it isnt really.

      It uses a very good system a bit like the Sphere Grid in FFX to handle the levelling up etc, which I personally think works very well indeed.

      As for the mana…well I suppose that is part of the storyline so I can’t really say why you dont have “classic” MP.

      I’d reccomend trying the game btw, its brilliant.

      The crystarium system is heaps cool, the great thing about Square Enix is that they try new things other than just the basic level up with EXP. I must say some of the places you venture through in Final Fantasy XIII are simply breathtaking. This game isn’t just great to play, it’s also great to look at. There has been many times i have stopped to admire the enviroments. Some people have said that Square Enix should place FFXIII as a failed experiment. Those people have no clue what a great game is. With the long wait we had to go through to get FFXIII, i can honestly say that it was worth the wait. Square Enix has created an epic yet again.
