A decent RPG with a solid story and gameplay - worth taking the time to play.
The story starts off slowly, and might turn some gamers off with its questionable characters and not-so-nice VA, but if you can get past that, it does pick up very quickly and soon becomes very engrossing and fast paced, making you forget (almost) how bad the voice acting is.
The story is engaging and makes you want to continue on and find out what happens next, which for me is definitely a must in an RPG, especially when you will be devoting a fair bit of time to its completion. Despite its aforementioned VA weaknesses, the characters do grow on you over time, and you do care what happens to them.
Battle wise, it is interesting and somewhat unique, and will keep your attention throughout; the only drawback being the high number of unavoidable random encounters - very irritating when you are trying to just GET somewhere. There is an obtainable skill though, that you can equip which takes care of this problem, but i won't tell you where to get it ^_^
There are some excellent side quests which yield the game's most powerful items and weapons, but be very careful - if you are not WAY over-leveled you will die a horrible death very quickly if you attempt some of them, so save save save.
Overall i found this game to be very worth playing, it is entertaining and fun, with a decent level of challenge, and a good solid storyline, which is what an RPG should be. Its weaknesses did not deter me from playing the entire thing, and i would argue its value to any unbeliever.
