Horrible

Disappointing

This game had potential but definitely didn't deliver. The design seemed ok, it kind of reminded me a little of old school rpgs. But the first thing I noticed that I didn't like were the whole "dream" sequences. Talk about lazy. Rather than have actual cutscenes that show flashbacks, they just show a bunch of text for you to read. Lame. I could have lived with that if not for hitting a brick wall in the beginning of the game. The first real boss fight is rediculously hard. He likes to do area attacks that take nearly half of everyones health, which is pretty much a death sentence since you don't get any decent heals or healing items at this point in the game. Even leveling up for a bit and making other rings didn't help at all. There is one ring that I made that says it raises damage against flying creatures, which this boss definitely is, well it made no difference, as if it wasn't flagged right as being a flying creature. After a couple days of giving this game extra chances I decided it's not worth the frustration. I mean 2 people that are supposedly immortal dieing to the first cheap boss they encounter is just lame. Time to send this back for something better.

Well first off I will say that I did not Like Final Fantasy Games at all, so after playing this game for about 15 minutes it already had lost me as a fan but after playing it for a Little while longer it only confirmed what i always knew about Fainal Fantasy, That is games Like this and those are better off being buried in a very very very deep hole and forgotten about. I Like Turned based RPGs but calling This an RPG is very very very from the Truth. You do not Play a Roll you Play the Charactures that the Programmers want you to play and that people is not an RPG as the role you are forced to Play is not fun the whole game is far from fun. You can't control the camera so most of the time you can't see what you need to see. The Game has good point and that is you can skip most of the Stupid Cutscenes. It would have been nice to be able to figure out what you are supposed to be doing but the little Mini map you are given doesnt show anything like that. Also I am Not a Big Fan of Japanese Anime and since that is what this game mostly is just another Japanese anime Movie with a Little Game play thrown in, and theres very little actual game play in the game. I will Play it for little bit more but I wont be keeping it more then one day because as a Game it falls very short I advise Gamers to give this Thing a very very very very Wide Berth. I hope No one bought this game because it isnt worth the Price even if the Price would be free

This is easily one of the worst games that I have ever played. You only get one or two experiance points per battle and the boss mobs can easily hit you for half you HP and can inflict stats effects that can prevent you from attacking. Boss mobs are over powered and leveling is slow, rent befor considering buying. The amont of interest that this game can provide is not worth the horrible programing and over powered boss mobs.
