If you've ever played any of the shadow hearts before you'll know that the storyline is the best bit and in SH : FTNW it's amazing again. The characters are just as crazy and random, and you always end up picking your favourites and making them ridiculously stronger than the crap ones, (Johnny, Shania, Natan and Hilda for teh win btw). As always with Shadow Hearts games there are about a million subquests to do, which will keep you entertained for hours. For example the snap cards and the pit fights. I personally think that there isn't even one bad point to SH : FTNW and i love the judgement wheel, because even though it's turn based, the wheel makes you feel more involved and it makes the game a lot more challenging and interesting, especially when you unlock the mind's eye (which makes the hit spots on the wheel dissapear but double your strength/magic).
All in all, this game is great! And any RPG lover should get into it, obviously start from 1 if you can because all the storylines follow, and its cheap :)
Seriously, buy them all, buy them all now.
