Worst game ever.
Graphics - unimpressive especially considering that there are not that many places to go in Enchanted Arms. You would think that with just a few places to go that they would have worked harder on the graphics.
Sound - Let me put it this way....there were points in the game where I had to turn the sound off because the soundtracks were so bad....the sound was totally giving me a headache. Also, they totally riped off some FF tracks. I am going to include dialog in this section mostly because the dialog was so bad that is needs to be commented on. This is pretty much how it went:
Atsuma: Hey Rigar, did you.......
Rigar: Well....
Atsuma: Never-mind
It was like the developers sat around saying:
Dev 1: "Hey you know what would be really cool! Lets NOT make a beefy plot...but to make it SEEM beefy we will add in a lot of nonsensical dialogue that has no point what so ever that provides no insight to anything." Dev 2: "GASP, you are a genius!"
Dev 1 & Dev 2: [obnoxious Beavis and Butthead-esq laughter ensues] "hehe hehe hehe hehe we rule!"
Also, most of the voice acting was just plain bad. Gameplay - ridiculously easy and uninspired. The gameplay got old very fast and I often found myself pressing the "auto" button which basically played the game for you in battles. How fun does that sound? There is also not a lot of incentive to aggressively level since you can basically buy the points to up your stats. Of course you need money for that.....oh wait! That's right....money is super easy to get too! But the worst part of the game was that there was not anything to explore or do. In each city there are a few doors marked on the map in yellow. At first I was like "nifty! shops and side-quests!" but oh no, all you would get were tiny cut scenes of the people inside that had nothing to do with ANYTHING. Buy the time I got to the last city and searched for those yellow dots I was thinking "Please, something, anything!! Just one little shop, one little side quest, something to break the monotony of this whole game!" The best part of RPGs for me are the sidequest and finding those obscure items and going to different shops to see what they have that is different from the other shops (hey, I like to shop! Give a girl a break! ) Well, you will not find any of that here which adds to the linear nature of the game. Let me put it to you this way: point "A" say hello to point "B" , now play nice you two. Value - or should I say: Value? I am %93 through the game and as soon as I finish this game I am going to gamestop and selling it which is something I never do. I love to play games over and over. This one was so painful I don't even want it in the house.
Overall I would say do not waste your money. This was a pathetic attempt to develop an RPG and considering it is "next gen" it was a huge disappointment.
