This game has a lot going for it, Great Graphics and all that other stuff. Battle system is original. If you have ever played a Dragon Quest game before you should recognize a lot of the things you see. At the beginning of the game it seems so unique, but then slowly it starts to lose the point. I loved it. I spent most of my time trying to strengthen my characters for the bosses and crap. I'm pretty sure you'll like the game spending about 30hrs. trying to see what you can do. It has the basic spells and things from all the other Dragon Quest games out there, and since it's an old school rpg there's not much I can tell you, but it does have nice things you can do like playing mini games in the casino for prizes, or the fact that you can ride on sabrecats (Tiger- like animals). Try it, but if your not into old school rpgs or just rpgs in general don't bother buying it unless you wanna waist your money.
