Still, it's a small argument against a game that's visually above average on the platform.Aurally, the game follows suit. The voice acting is more than competent, the sound effects are good, and the music is great. I'm usually not one that pays too much notice to the soundtrack of a game, but playing through Laguna's chapter in the story really made my day – the Eyes on Me remix reminded me that while I might not take notice most of the time, ffxivmall Final Fantasy really does have a fantastic score. The only real issue with the sound comes from the voice acting and the sometimes–awkward dialogue, which is a fault of the dialogue, not of the voice actors. The actors themselves do a bang–up job, and there's not a significant complaint about the characters as a whole. All this great audio and video work wrapped around the mediocre story doesn't create the best experience, but it's still more than worthwhile for most Final Fantasy fans.Among Dissidia 012's differences from the original is the addition of an overworld. The problem is, it's a bad overworld. There are control issues when ambushing enemies on the world map and positioning yourself in the right place to talk to a Moogle Shop or open a treasure chest. FFXIV Gil Little things, certainly, but they affected how little I enjoyed the overworld. On the map, most of your time is devoted to running to the next gate and activating it; once inside the gate you find... the same board game–style setup as the first game. There are some additions here with how to chain enemies, but it's largely similar to the previous title. There are random enemies – manikins, as in Dissidia – that traverse the world map, as well as treasure chests to find, but it's obvious from the get go where you need to go. The lack of freedom makes it feel like this was simply slapped on as a way to quell the arguments of fans rather than to add any sort of actual depth, which is unfortunate. Much like the story feels like an excuse to put all these characters together, the overworld feels like an excuse to give the story a longer form.Even with the overworld, the bulk of the game sits with the combat and its surrounding systems. For those of you who are familiar with Dissidia's combat, not much has changed here. FF14 Gil Characters still have two main numbers – their hit points and their bravery. Hit points are exactly what you would expect them to be – when they hit 0, you die. Bravery denotes how much damage a character can deal to another's hit points, but also functions on its own as a value of fortitude.
