Don't get me wrong the game can be fun in small doses. It has an interesting, if annoying battle system. I like the whole idea of tactical movement, as it makes seldom used weapons like bows easier to swallow due to an actual advantage. However if you don't go about it right you can, and will, cheat yourself out of valuable and rare money and items. Another problem is that you have to conserve your Spirit Stones or you'll run out in the middle of an important battle. And given the rarity of money and how you sometimes cheat yourself of items in battle by accident they are hard to keep in stock. Also many of the characters seem a little 2 dimensional. Might just be my opinion but also the 180 shift in Darc's attitude is a little hard to swallow.
