Get ready for the mother of all power-gaming RPGs...

OK, all you RPG power gamers...you know who you are. Did you level up in Final Fantasy Tactics until you could kill Argus in one hit with Fire 4 at the end of Chapter 1? Did you have job classes unlocked before you could even buy weapons for them? Do you spend entire weekends leveling up your party in RPG games so that you are so overwhelming powerful that even bosses don't stand a snowball's chance in hell against you? Then go buy a hundred tacos at Taco Bell, a truck load of soda, and plant your butt in front of this game. Oh yeah, by the way, don't plan on having a life while you play this either. Say nighty-night sweet prince to that. I know what you're thinking, "But I-Dogg, I like my life the way it is." All I can say is shut up and get ready to not only level up characters, but level up their equipment and items as well. That's right, cheese heads, I said level up items. As in, healing items that you use and then they are gone. I spent a whole day leveling up a piece of candy. You know why? Because you can. This game has everything you have been looking for in an RPG and more. Unlimited leveling options not enough for you? How about a senate of demons that you can manipulate to your own ends. That's right kids, you are the bad guy in this one. Vote to get better items, raise your rank in the underworld, and even out right extort money from them to fund your own personal war. If they don't vote for you, bribe them with items, or if you are feeling really under-handed, just attack and kill the ones that don't like you. And you know what, in the middle of all this chaos, the game has an awesome story. The game, sorry to say, isn't perfect. It's got a job system, but it's not as clean as FFT. It's called Transmigration, and it's kind of busted at first. It takes some getting used to, and that's the toughest part about the game, really. Everything else is pretty cut and dry. You will spend days and days playing and still not even experience half of what this game has to offer. It can be down right overwhelming most of the time. And that's really it's only downfall, there is just so much to do and the average life span is only, like, 78 or something. Not enough time...
