Think of those viral videos of Lebron James lobbing full court shots in practice, throw in some opposition players, and a close score of 97-94, and you've got the makings of an exciting finish. Although full court shots won't be a prerequisite for scoring a 4 point shot, it does paint a nice picture, doesn't it?

In Part 1 of my review-in-progress of Final Fantasy 15 Pocket Edition HD, I talked about the game’s story. In part 2, I want to focus on the game’s battle system and exploration.

The battle system in FF15 isn’t horrible, in fact I’ve been enjoying for the most…

And that's not a bad thing.
