In my humble opinion: This game sucks. I mean REALLY sucks. I'm not sure what everyone is raving about but trust me, if your over the age of 18 especially, this game blows dolphin nutz. Let me start by stating that my favorite all time game is Dragon Warrior for NES....I've played most every RPG since and I can usually find something fun. This game is one of the worst ever; I should have known when it took 1 hour of reading text and watching the character move around before I could even do a thing, that this game was bogus.
Heres why:
The graphics are ok, kinda cutsey and Japanese looking. B+. Now that Ive said something nice, let me say the rest.
The story is super annoyingly linear. There is no customization AT ALL. You have limited choices for weapons and armor etc.... So you are Avin, and you will go down this road and that road, no straying off the path, you are stuck following the game. There is no free roam at all in this game. The fights with the enemies are way, way, way, wayyyyy too easy. No challenge hardly at all until you've played the game for 6 hours at least.
Here's a great example of this. Your first mission is to collect roses from the town folks. And if you miss one person, you'll be forced to go through the entire town over and over and over again trying to find someone to give you a rose for the Priest. Its sooo lame. I can't handle it at all.
The sound, oh my god, shoot me!!! all you hear are foot steps and piddy paddy click click walking around which is amazingly archaic. Don't get me wrong, I love 8-bit sounds, but the sound and music is very bad. There are no voice overs at all, every person just talks and you hear little blips. It is somewhat nostalgic of NES days but NES did it because of system limitations, there are none with PSP so there is no need for it here.
The gameplay is pretty standar stuff of old-skool RPG's. Nothing, and I mean nothing fancy or new.
Thats enough I think. I should never have bought this game but luckily I bought it from EB games used and they allow you to return them for another game.
