I love RPGS, blame that on the Final Fantasy series, so it stands to reason I'm going to compare every RPG I play with them. This looks nice but a little bland, there's some good use of mode 7 when you're involved in the battles and you rotate from the map into the fighting screen, but overall I'm not being gripped by the story here. Because there seems to be a battle every five seconds the actual exploring takes second place and you need to be given a bit more to go on. Tedious.
