Disadvantages
But there are some drawbacks to the story in a game that lasts dozens of hours. Without sufficient depth or detail in the overall story, The Zodiac Age begins to fade towards the end, as there simply isn’t enough storyline to span all of this gameplay time.
For what it’s worth, most of the main cast of characters are interesting and will make you want to find out more about their lives. One notable exception is the main character, Vaan, who would be better off eliminated from the entire game.

What sets The Zodiac Age apart from many other Final Fantasy titles is the gambit fighting system. The combat deviates from the turn-based system used in previous installments for something more like real-time battles. Gambits allow you to set up each of your groups with preprogrammed commands that will follow during encounters with enemies. These can range from healing characters when their health drops to a specific level to canceling status effects.
You can create more complicated scripts, giving you plenty of options when it comes to tackling the next bunch of mobs. Do you want to constantly weaken enemies to elemental attacks and then cast that particular spell at the right moment? You can do this with the Gambit system. These combinations are practically endless, so you can experiment with them and find the best for your playing style. Despite the work involved in setting up these scripts, it’s immensely satisfying to see them act in battles.
