Well, I bought Twelve today second hand because my mom was being greedy. The main attraction was really the artwork, it's beautiful, trust me on that. I've already started and it is really another game only for people who understand Japanese. It kinda has ADV with the Turn Base Strategy. I have figured not many people like to play Turn Base in Hong Kong aswell.

Gameplay
ADV + Turn Base Battle. Requires knowledge of Japanese to get the ADV bit and knowledge of these types of games for the Battles. Before battle, you can buy items and such. It kind of revolves around these "orbs" which are embedded into your weapon which gives bonus stats. The game is SD Characters on a battle map with battle attack screens. It is pretty cute, trust me on that. The battle system is not hard to understand, you get options of attack, special and such and also support which boosts your allies stats on the map.

Graphics
SD Characters + nicely drawn artwork of characters. Nothing 3D but seriously artwork is the thing that will make people buy it. Battle scenes are animated also. You see those SD Characters hit the enemy.

Sound
Most if not all ADV scenes are dubbed. You can get around if you can understand Japanese and not read. The music itself suits the game, it even has an opening. :D

Load Time
This is where it loses all the marks. Load time is fast but things lag. However if you are patient, you can handle it, if not, forget it, dont buy it. The Lag can kill you. This may be due to KOEI forgetting to add CPU unlock code into the game. I don't know but yeah, it lags badly during anything.

Overall
Get it if you are patient and know Japanese and seek value in story. Don't if you are impatient and can't stand turn base strategy. If the game was less laggy, I would be alot happier to be honest.
