Excellent gameplay, maybe too repetitive?
My favorite piece of the game is the stat-building system. It is very similar to FF2; as you use a weapon often, your stats continually build for that one skill, say bow-and-arrow. The graphics are splendid, bright and colorful and very detailed. The characters are fun to watch and manipulate.
The story and vast and takes you all the way around Aranna, up to the big bad guy. Dungeons are sprawling and last for hours. Coming out alive gives you a good sense of satisfaction.
I have a few complaints, though. I have played through twice, now, and noticed that the amount of loot you aquire becomes almost annoying. Most of the treasure is useless and not worth keeping. By the middle of the game, you have so much money you don't know what to do with it.
My other complaint is the repetitiveness of battles. Before your characters get new skills, or you aquire new characters altogether, the game gets a little boring in the interim. THis mars an almost perfect game.
