I would recommend it without hesitation. The story is excellent, it is one of the few games that can produce a major emotional response from most of the people who play it. The gameplay is fairly standard JRPG turn based style.

One of my top 5 games of all time, and easily one of the best games this gen. Its criminally overlooked which is a shame, you will not be disappointed.

One of the best JRPGs ever made. I'd say in the top 5, along with Final Fantasy VIII and Star Ocean II.

Great game, played it last night. I have over a 100 hours into and still not finished. I did get the download content and leveled up my characters for awhile which is why I have so many hours, when I finish it I am thinking it will be around 120 hours.

It's good, but not as good as ToV and Eternal Sonata in my opinion. I actually thought it was a tad boring at times, but it was still a good game. Glad I played it definitely though.

I agree. It suffered from poor villain-itis, though it was overall a good game.

Im in the same position. I've got Kaim, Seth, Jensen and Sed all 99, but the rest are in the mid 60's-70's. Ming is like 30 something :|.

I played it for a couple hours and really liked it. I've been looking to get back into it, but when I first got my 360 I made the mistake of buying about 7 games with it, so I'm jumping from one to the other. Looking forward to getting back to it tho; from the couple hours I played it, I liked what I saw.

Yep. That's kinda the downfall of buying everything at once. It's best to take it game by game because then you will have so much going on at once and you won't be able to concentrate on one great story. LO is a great game. Bought it when it first came out, but it has come down in price now and It's the perfect time to buy it. Great graphics, story, gameplay. For a system that was severely lacking any good RPG's it definitely raised the bar in terms of quality for RPG's in the future.

The amount of good responses from this thread makes me want to get this game. It'll have to wait though since I'm currently going through Tales of Vesperia.
