One of the best of Square Enix!
The game play has it's unique way, which is really interesting. Hacking enemies with different swords, maces, axes, daggers, bows etc. and protection your self with different shield. Not to mention that you can make your own weapons. But also need to watch out the RISK, it's not fun when your RISK is very hight, the accuracy falls and your character also absorbs more damage to himself. The game is very long at first, but when you start knowing all the right routes you will beat the game much faster.
The Story can be complex if you don't follow it right, but the it's still a great story, if not one of the greatest.
Sounds are great, from footsteps to enemies screeches and growlings. The music fits perfectly in certain locations.
When you beat the game and let the credits roll, you can play the game AGAIN with all your weapons with you, and you will be able to get all in those locked places to beat the game 100%.
Square Enix has done a great work! If only it would be possible to make similar title once again...
