I really loved this game. The characters have so much personality, and I really enjoyed the voice acting, which this game is full of. Beautiful graphics, nice music, and a very compelling story. There are tons of recruitable characters.
If you prefer a more classic rpg turn-based battle system, you might not like the battle system. You essentially run around a little arena in real time and try to execute combos while coordinating your party’s attacks, it can get a little hectic at times. The graphics are a little whimsical, which seems to turn some people off, but I really like them. Also, if you want to see the whole game, you have to play it twice or more. Some might not like that, but it really made me feel like I was getting a lot of game for the money.
Anyway, if you liked The Legend of Zelda: the Windwaker, and Final Fantasy IX, I think you’ll really like this one.
