If your like me, you've played MagnaCarta1(which at times was insanely difficult). This game offers a fresh new change from the original and takes on a new plot that bears no relation to its predesessor. You start off as Juto a boy that in a sort of cliche move, has lost his memory of his former self along with a sword stigma which prevents him from touching a sword (indicating he was probably involved in some traumatic situation). Needless to say the game starts as one way and suddenly takes you into an on going global war.
As with the Original, you dont travel too far from home, with regions being somewhat reminescent of the one you were just in. I did like however that the level up system is basic in a user-friendly way, making you feel like you achieved something great without consuming your life just to get a level higher. Of course you cant, like the original just "waltz" through the game, leveling up is necessary to take down your next boss. I found myself defeated a few times but not enough to break the controller against the wall. The story will satisfy your RPG thirst in a basic yet interesting way. I wont lie to you, chances are the plot twists and climaxes are ones you may have seen on tv or another RPG.
All in all this game is what it is, fun, and filled with RPG excitement that you could expect from Magna Carta. But if you have NEVER played this franchise i recomend trying it out. Its a mild step in to a rather more intricate RPG world without taking it to some extremes like some other franchises will.
IF you like fun RPGs play this one.
