When they mentioned this game for the GC I got all giddy on the inside. I was hoping for a awesome RPG and guess what? It finally delievered on all fronts. Great story, great gameplay, and great character development all rolled into one game. I finally got around to rating this game and I gave it a 8.8. I have to say this is that special little game that, while not being the best, will be my special "squeeze". I'm glad I forked out the 50 for it and I'm going through it again. Thats all.
