Astounding game. Personally I'm not an RPG guy, but as soon as the game clicked for me (during the prison section) I was hooked and it actually sparked my interest in JRPGs. It doesn't have the annoying random encounters and, besides that, the dynamic style of the battles makes it a good RPG for starters in the genre.

There isn't much I can say about this game that hasn't been said already The music is great, the graphics are beautiful and the story is fantastic I don't think that there's much I can add to that so I'll talk about my favorite parts and my general experience with the game.

When I started playing I thought it was a usual JRPG so the battle style caught me off guard and it frustrated me at the beginning. I'm glad I didn't turn the game away because of my first impressions because as soon as I gave it a chance I was hooked.

I loved the frog arc, by far my favorite followed by the arc of the robot. Besides those the side quests were all good and fun to complete although some were a bit too cryptic. The black omen section at the end is also amazing.

There's only two things I didn't like in the game: first the race bit that I am so bad at. I didn't find it fun and was annoying as hell having to race just to check a room or two. Second is the final boss that was also a big challenge for me. I needed help from @Gengis_Chan because of the damn ultimate physical attack. But even though it was frustrating, it was fun and a bit nerve wrecking fight.

Even though I finished it I still feel like I need to spend more time with this game and I look forward to replay it in the years to come. It's not a very special game to me but I loved playing it and recommend to anyone interested.
