i feel like this is a game most people i know have played via renting at blockbuster back in the day, but never actually finished or enjoyed
oh boy, what a mess. i love the game's art style and some of its music, but ultimately a lot got lost in the translation to the NA version. for those unaware, the leveling up system in the JP version works much better and actually increases your stats as the developers intended. for whatever reason, this is broken in the NA and EU versions, leaving your character drastically underpowered by the end of the game.
speaking of the end of the game, they just cut out the ending cutscenes from the non-JP versions and replaced them with a screen of text! wow, i sure wish i spoke japanese and had a JP copy of this game so maybe i could experience what it was actually supposed to be like. oh well!
