One of my favorite games of all time.

Possibly the best story of any game with basically just 4 main characters(2 bad, 2 good) with a few others mixed in. You are an orphan boy, forced to fight gladiator style against monsters day in and out(why you start at level 1 is beyond me) for the viewing pleasure of the bad guys. Eventually you make your escape and here starts the greatest story ever told. You can beat the game in 24 hours, you can play a low level game, you can powerlevel and beat the final boss with magic. It's all up to you!
As this game is actually related to the Secret of Mana games, you walk around Mana style, using all types of weapons/magic that you find. Throughout the game you will get a few NPC partners that can help you if called upon. They can heal, fight, or transport you around the world. A fairly straight forward game, the storyline keeps you attached and heading in the right direction. Don't forget to keep keys on you at all time, and that the Ax can cut down trees!!!
