You can really tell this game was made in 2004; the graphics aren't the finest, menuing is often a pain, and you'll be constantly holding down the turbo button if you don't want every engagement to take a century due to the animation lengths. That said, the world building and characterization is fantastic, and the soundtrack is quite understated yet exceptional. If you can get through the somewhat sluggish beginning, you'll be fairly pleased with what's to come. Not my favorite game in the Legend of Heroes series, and I definitely had my gripes with plenty of aspects (stealth missions...), but I ended up liking this a lot more than I had originally expected.
