| I don't know much about this game, but when I saw it at the store, I was really amazed by the artwork and all the goodies that you get in the package. Can someone here please let me know if I should buy this one or not? I need a new RPG, and I would like to know how the battle system is, if its turned based or what. I've been to their website, but still, nothing beats a comment from someone who's actually played it. | |||

| Anya, very old post, but nobody seems to be answering it, so...
(and since it's still on page 1, it's not yet an "old thread bump"!) I have this game and am about 1/3 of the way through it. Slow-paced, but beautiful to look at and still fun to play. This game has been really popular in Japan ever since it came out -- Hyung-Tae Kim (?), the Korean guy who did the graphics, has even put out art books devoted to it. I was wary of the game's quality when the box seemed to overemphasize the beauty of one of the female characters, but the game itself seems to match up. It's set in a fascinating world with plenty of back-story. It was originally a PC game in Korea, and was changed significantly for the PS2 version, which definitely has the superior character designs. Music's good and the battles are quite fun once you get past the steep learning curve. I couldn't get the hang of the more complicated battle modes, not least because explanations of them are buried in the copious manual text. They could've been more concise on that front. Reminiscent of the timing-based chain attacks in Vagrant Story with a touch of those music beat games thrown in. People have compared it to Final Fantasy X, and the field graphics are very similar. Basically if you liked FFX and don't mind a slower pace, you'll like this. I commend Atlus for putting it into English when it looked like nobody would do so! Atlus does small print runs, so get it now! |

| I loved th is game to pieces. You should DEFINITELY get it, it's very interesting and has a great story right up until the end (the end itself leaves a little to be desired though) | |||

| Amanda, how long did it take you to finish? It's taking me quite a long time -- I must be 25 hours into it, and I'm still in what looks like the beginning. (Rianna has joined the squad.)
The problem is that I can't keep track of what attacks are used by what enemies, so I always fight in Shura (standard) mode. When I finish FFXII and my second Vagrant Story run, I might go back to this game and see if I can make some more progress. This game deserves to be finished! |

| Is it just me or does it look like Calintz wears a thong? |
