This game is a masterpiece. Why? I couldn't really tell you. Playing it I'm nothing but frustrated, because around every corner there is something that will probably kill you, or bring you close to death. Bottom line: This game is DAMN hard! Like, most games pace it so you can get through the game with general ease and comfort, like most of the Final Fantasy games, however this game throws you into it, and the first battles you do will rape you in the ear and eye holes. The only way you will ever finish this game, is to be patient with it. You will die, and you will scream in disgust, but you will keep playing anyways, because you are damned determined to beat this game so you can feel like you've just won at life. Its the only reason I'm still going. Its also pretty addictive as well, but sometimes it gets rediculous. Leveling up takes a very long time, because by the time you're strong enough to kill the enemies around you, they don't give you enough experience to be worth killing anymore, so the only way to get stronger is to either risk dying on the next level, or to train for hours to get up a few levels.

And then you have the FOE monsters. Even when I was defeating everything else on the floor easily, these things still nearly killed me. I survived by luck and luck alone. And the worst part is I only had 2/5 characters left, and it was only a single monster! I wasn't even under trained! Its just HARD! Like, you don't know difficulty till you try to beat this game. Its discouraging you from playing it with its difficulty, sort of like saying to you "Hey, if you can't hang with us in this dungeon, then just give up and kill yourself, because you're worthless." That's right, it feels like the game is mocking you and trying to tell you to kill yourself. But instead of just turning it off, something in the back of my head says "No! We have to beat this **** and prove that we can do this!" and so I keep playing! It's a trap! There is no escape, and for that, this game deserves to be played.
