Best game ever!
Although combat is turn based there is always an aura of urgency in certain situations, this is aided by the soundtrack and the story. Often the player is just playing harder and faster because they want to unravel more of the story.
Like any good story you care for the characters and the world in which they live.
Perhaps the only downfall of this game is the awkward save system, many a time you'll play for an hour or so just to reach a save checkpoint.
The graphics are acceptable, the FMV movies amazing and visually impressive, the soundtrack well paced and the story is both charming and moving.
Gameplay and combat is easy to learn but still rewards those who are expert gamers.
A true gem of a game.
