To me, anyway. It has gotten some pretty unfavorable reviews by different websites. I wonder how far these guys got in the game as its growing on me more and more everytime I play it. If you generally enjoy traditional, turn-based Japanese RPG's, then I don't see whats not to like here. The game is wordy, though, and the English voice acting is HORRIBLE. So I just turned on Japanese with English subtitles and haven't looked back yet. It probably deserves around a 7.5 out of 10 or so. I'm not gonna bother with the Pokemon style Live play, though. If anyone else out there has played this game, let me know what you think. I'm curious.....
