Much like their reviewer, I don’t think I could ever tire of playing this game. There are numerous variations and directions the game can take. I still have not done a lot of the bonus side quests or tracked down Cloud Strife. The only other games I can safely say I could never tire of are the original Final Fantasy (same reasons: the game is so open ended that the gamer can employ a variety of strategies and constraints) and The Legend of Zelda (which just never gets old). Most modern games just don’t move me in general, but especially in this regard.

While the Japanese version seems to skip and slow even when characters are moving and the spells and abilities slow the game literally to a crawl, the English version only have slowdown on the special attacks, and even then it's still moving at about 5-6 times the speed of the same skill in the Japanese version.

Pretty annoying, but you can definitely overlook this. There’s a slight slowdown in the PSP, UMD version, when using special attacks. Pretty annoying, but you can definitely overlook this.

I've tested both an original and an ISO, and I can definitely affirm that the ISO runs a bit slower during the battle, but the original takes a while longer to load the maps, etc. I’ve been told that the slow-down occurs on pirated ISOs that use compression, and not in the finished product.
