I gave this game as much of a chance as I could at first, then after reading how great of reviews it got, gave it another shot over a year later, and I just could not keep playing it. The graphics are dull at best, the story is nothing great, and the gameplay was boring. Pretty much everything about the game is boring. That is saying a lot from me because I love traditional turn based RPGs, they are and have been my favorite genre, but this game is just awful and does not nearly deserve anywhere close to a 9.1 rating. I tried and really cannot see the draw in this game whatsoever. Its darn close to awful.
