Oh my! :(
I kind of hyped myself up for this game and was shot down pretty much within 2 minutes into the game.
First of all there is some unecessary features here like the running system...everytime you run you lose health...thing is, if you wanted to be like real life you would add a STAMINA gauge...since running always effects stamina, not your health per se(anyhow, we're talking about a game here, so who cares!?)
Then you have the extremely slow battle system...im surprised my R button my DS is still alive after holding down that button during the battle sequences to speed them up.
Then you have two modes of fighting, one to collect items and one to level up. Its just stupidly tedious the system and actually makes NO SENSE.
Graphics wise it isn't THAT brilliant...its kind of like carboard 3D battles, a tottal contradictioin in itselve.
So in summary its kind of like paper mario without the paperness, battles without the actual battles, leveling up and item gaining without the logic and gaining fun when there isn't any there to be gained.
Waste of time, very very slow, dull, repetitive, unecessary game.
