average but yet slightly-underated classic RPG.

I got this game very cheap. I've read the bad reviews so I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly suprised. Though this game is not anything special, I thought it was better then the consensus out there which make the game seem bad. It is rather simplistic, but I think reviewers are forgetting, that this is on a portable system, and being simple is a good thing. This game lets you save whenever you want, and has a lot of cool little tasks to do, and no matter how long you put the game down, you can always pick it up and play because you can conversate with the characters in your party and know exactly what you have to do. If the game had the depth in story that some reviewers wish it had it would have been inappropriate for a portable platform, because as you know if you're playing a game with a complicated, and convulated storyline and you put it down for a week or so (which happens often with portable games) you can very easily get lost or confused. Anyways, the graphics are nice and clean, the music is good, the towns, backgrounds, and characters have good detail. It has a very old-school throwback feel. Feels almost like an early SNES RPG. The battle system is the biggest drawback, if they would have just let the player select the enemy to target instead of letting the game decide it would have fixed the battle system big-time. Oh well, regardless, I can't totally knock the battle system because at least the battles aren't random, you can actually see the enemies and you can outrun them if you don't want to fight. Random Battles are so friggin' annoying!!
Anyways, solid, throw-back RPG, if you can grab it cheap and are a Role-playing fan, I say you should consider it.
