"Best in the series"
The inovating and less-waiting-more-acting fighting system is good for making everyone at least try it. Very good grafics for a ps2 game, really well placed voice acting and cutting edge CG's. The only problem in my opinion is that you need to pass a little more than you would want leveling up your characters, and this kinda breaks the story... like, sometime that you wish to arrive soon at someplace to continue the story, that gets really insane in some points, and instead you need to stop at some areas and kill a few dozens of monsters to be able to progress without being killed in the way by the tough boss...
