I am currently OBSESSED with this game. I never imagined when i first started playing it that i would get so hooked, but the story and the characters has completely engaged me in this game. I find myself feeling like all these characters could be real people because they all express emotions and have problems like people in real life. I've just never experianced an RPG that was like this before, and its really just blown my mind.

After I finished the game and learned that i had infact not finished the game at all, i had gotten the bad ending and there was more to the story. Changing the decisions i had made towards the end of the game has yielded an even longer experiance and added hours more gameplay and an incredible plot twist which i did consider at one point in the game but i had not been expecting it by the time the revelation came about.

I am not usually one to get so hung up on a game but i actually started to feel really sad when i felt like the game was going to end because i was going to miss seeing what happens with the characters in there world. For me this was just something i had never really experianced in a game in a very long time. The only other game which had me caring so much for the characters was Suikoden 2. I Will review this game once i have completed it with the true ending, but at this point i can say that it is my favorite RPG on the PS2 and one of my most favorite games of all time.

I just really cant help but love this game and its characters its just such a wierd thing for me because i have never felt this obsessed about a game before, i guess its just the way the game is far more closer to reality then other RPGs which are heavily based in fantasy universes with characters that seem to have very little depth.

Incidentally my favorite character is Rise.
