I played this game having not played many other RPGs at the time - this game blew me away from the opening.
The storyline is what makes this game great. Very few games have such well developed characters and place you in the story like this game does.
Graphically this game is very average and sound wise the game is good enough. Voiceovers sound good and characters are lovely.
Meeting characters and interacting with them is rewarding and is something you will always remember. The twists upon twists at the end of this game were amazing. The storyline shines throughout.
The RPG elements are very good and I have no idea why this game is overlooked. If I can find a copy of this cheap I will buy it - but those that own it probably arnt parting with it any time soon.
Great game for beginner RPG players and veterans alike.
