Well, this is my first review. I actually like this game, the graphics is immense, you really travel in another world which you can observe from a very far distance. The fights are good, the leveling system is right, there are plenty of quests and people to talk with. But I miss many things. It is not clear what the story is about, you must read a review to understand it. No cut FMV scenes to understand it and enjoy the true power of PS3, the graphics sometime gets slow, not moving continuously (7 cpu cells for that?), the music is almost the time always the same. I must talk a lot and somehow, but not necessarily, even listen to all gossips. For example a similar game, at least in terms of environment like the Shadow of the Colossus is much more fluid and smoother, with no loading times and that's made for PS2. Talking about RPGs, I miss all the typical things of games like FFXII. When I level up I like to smash weaker opponents. I like to have a clear story to follow, and ancillary quests to play. I like to be introduced in the story, and to understand what the story is about. I like Special Effects and I like well studied, not repetitive music. Still, this game is great, an absolute must buy. Just do not expect a typical Fantasy RPG. It looks much more like a Medieval GTA.
