Packs a LOT of content into one cart.
The main quest had a nice story with some good twists and turns, and the difficulty level was just right. By each boss fight I felt I was just about the right level without having to go out and 'grind'. The fights are exciting and the animations in the fight sequences are the best I've seen on the DS. Graphics are superb, I especially like how your character's appearance changes depending on the items you have equipped. Not many DS games can boast that feature and it makes the item hunting and alchemy that much more addictive.
I'm amazed at how they managed to pack so much content into a DS game. Don't let this one pass you by!
