This game is a poor first attempt at a next-gen rpg. Its so generic and uninteresting, reminds me of the Saga series.

This game started out at $20 for the PS3...what does that tell you? I tried to like this game simply because it was one of the first original rpg's for the next-gens, actually THE first I believe. Its just so bland to me. The story is well done, but uninspired. The graphics are lackluster compared to something like Eternal Sonata, which was so vibrant and full of detail it had me simply staing at the screen for minutes at a time, and the characters...they are terrible. Some of them appear to be drag-queens, I swear. I've seen other games do that before, but its only one character or so.

The battle system tried to do somethign different, but its really just the same old turned based strategy(which I love, but this one is just plain blah). As gamespot said as well, there is so much walkign around pointlessly, they couldn't give you a quicker means or travel once you've already visited an area? A good 10 hours of the game is walking from point A to point B, back to A, then to C, then A, then C, and finall B again. Yeah, thats how they give us an rpg that is over 40 hours long.

It seems the fate of almost any first rpg on any new system, except for the franchise games, if they make launch. Enchanted Arms has nothing about it that enchants the gamer, if anything, most of it completelly turns him/her off by hour 20.
