Con's
There are times in the game when the main characters talk and there not voiced. These parts are far and in between but when they pop up you wonder why they were not voice. I think were at the time in games when everything should be a 100 percent voice acted, enough with the text.
Although Combat is fun, it lacks the depth most veteran RPG fans want.
Again story is good but.... it suffers from too many characters. The game tends to focus only on two and you kinda of feel that the other cast of 7 although cool are kinda of under-realized. Also two more quibbles with the story. A nauseating love triangle, I mean I like FF games so I'm use to romances but man there were times I wanted to puke. Finally to many monologues, it seems the developers were trying to rush some characters. Instead of giving them time to develop through out the game it seems they sum up some characters with one or two lengthy monologues and it's kind of disappointing since all the characters are cool and would wish the dev's gave them more time to develop.
Fredric Chopin is not the lead character. This is kind of a minor quibble but the stoy dose not focus on him... and well I really dug his character and wish he had more to do. I mean he's on his death bed and he's having this fantastical dream, there are so many ways they could of went with this character but.... instead the dev's chose Poka and Retto to be the leads and that was kind of a dissapointment.
Overal I would Rate the Game a 8.9 but since I'm not allowed to do that thanks Gamespot for pushing your crappy rating system on us I give it a 9. Been a long time since I played a good RPG and this one just has an undeniable charm despite it's faults.
