I played it for a while, though it didn't hook me that much that I'd be playing it all day now it's a really good game.
Controlls are okay (though there are a few things I didn't really figure out yet), characters look good, arenas are big and give a lot of space to move around freely.
There's also a bunch of stuff going on around the fights like your chocobo on treasure hunt and all this item making stuff so it's certainly not boring.
My only complaint is that I'd really have liked to see a few more playable characters than only the main heroes and main villains.
