My favourite game ever. Very original, very addictive. Reaches its full potential.
Gameplay- Great gameplay, so much so it made me want to play it over and over after completion. The Submersive storylines are reallt interesting. You get to see the characters growing and evolving throughout the story, especially Ryudo and Millenia. Battles in this game are turn based but in a unique way, the characters are always doing something on screen; such as running around opponants. Battles consist of a 360 degree area across the screen to fight in, unlike most convetional RPG turn-based games where you are either behind the characters you are using or from the side. The scenery really does help make this game what it is. Fantastic detail into everything. The leveling up system is really good too. Its easy enough to figure out and there is always the tutrial if you get stuck. There are so many moves for each character its amazing. Sp moves and Magic moves, which can be leveled up and used to unlock new moves, and magic. Fantastic gameplay all round.
Graphics- The graphics really are an important part of this game, they help to create an atmosphere about the game, as well as the music. There is a lot of detail in this game although the characters faces can get a bit annoying since they don't change, but that really doesn't affect the gameplay.
Sound- The music in this game is great. It is also very catchy especially Elana's song.
I recommend this game to any gamer who can appreciate a great storyline and has the patients to play through a game rather than put it down when they get frustraited. A great buy, and very good value for money.
