A great game, ultra fun after reading other reviews
Created: 09/12/08
First, my favorite games: Xenogears, FF6, FF7, King's Field 1 and 2, metal gear series. I love rpg's with great music and story, everything else is secondary.
After reading reviews, they ranged from bad to average. This is misleading. I have found that most reviews are based on mainstream people or other mainstream games. A good rpg cannot be reviewed that way.
This game has far more good points than not. It also has some outstanding features I have not seen before. #1 is that it has no random battles. That makes the exploration not only bearable but fun. To add to that, you can clearly hear where a secret item or wall is. Locate it by sound so you don't waste your real life searching every nook and cranny. (which in recent games has ended up being a real waste of life, I haven't played a game that was so fun to explore since FF6) Another standout feature is that there are a few times when you leave an area and cannot be sure what to do next....until one of your characters says it! In other games I would either run back and forth for 30 minutes to an hour or resort to looking a guide up online - which always led me to seeing things I did not want to know about the game. These things along with the great voice acting, music and story made this a lot of fun for me.
And while I keep hearing that the graphics are bad, I do not agree. They are not polished but they have a good look and many areas are really nice to look at.
The bad points: the first thing I noticed was the somewhat "puppety" appearance of the face movements. I quickly got over it due to the absolutely outstanding voice acting. One of the very few games I couldn't get enough of the characters talking. (not since hearing solid snake say anything) There are also, strangely, a few times when cut scenes do not have any voice work although these have subtitles. Again, not a problem considering you still get the story. But it does seem out of place.
All that said, it was a great experience with a very cool story. It unfolds well and keeps you wanting more all through the end. One of the best rpg's I have played on a next gen system, if not the best. I completed Lost Odyssey before this and while it started with a bang, it ended with me wanting to burn all 4 discs.
So if you like rpg's give this one a shot. Especially for the sub $45 category you cannot go wrong!

This is a really cool game the graphics are awesome it's kind of like the final fantasy look and feel to it. There's several characters to choose from, but you also travel with them and you can use their skills to fight off enemies along the way. You go around getting items and looking for them, but the challenge is just getting away from the enemies because you never know where they're going to come from, but they can seem to pop up out of nowhere. This is a good game and I rate it 5 out of 5 stars.

This was a great buy. An amazing RPG for anyone a fan of the series. Battle system is strong and solid. Story is also very developed and involving. it is a game that all RPG fans should consider trying, especially if you are a long running fan of Star Ocean or Final Fantasy.

Square Enix does it again
Created: 11/09/08
What do you know Square Enix made another great RPG. The only thing that good be better about the game I think is the graphics but I have only played it for an hour and the movie scenes look awesome. The story so far is amazing as well. I would suggest buying a book for the game just like any RPG because you never kno what is hidden. The fighting engine is aslo cool because it is free formed and not turn based which can get old sometimes. This game is not as good as Lost Odyessy but if you like RPG's at all this is a must have
