A little slow and steady at the beginning but magnificant nearing the end!
After a couple of dungeons the game gets amazingly better. Then nearing the end the game gets unbelievably jaw-dropping addicting. You just have to complete the game right then and there because you want to know whats going to happen next. Once you finish the game you would probably accept Atlus for being almost at par with Square-Enix.
Gameplay - 9: The gameplay was very enjoyable. it is very similar to Nocturne, in a sense you can just wipe out enemies very quickly if you know what attacks to use. I enjoyed it very much, and the gameplay wanted me to keep getting into random encounters. This is my first game where I actually wanted random encounters.
Graphics - 10: The graphics were amazing in this game. Because this game is cell-shaded it looks cleaner. The environments and characters a like were well created. All in all the graphics were amazing.
Sound - 8: The sound was pretty good. The music definitely fit with the gameplay and the entire game, it's just not something I would listen to while I'm driving on the road. But other then that the music was pretty good.
Value - 10: The value in this game is a perfect 10. It has so much quality especially with the story. Also with the mantra grid they have you'd want to play it a second time in the New Cycle so you can complete it.
