A nice looking game with decent party interaction and somewhat unique plot....difficulty is lacking.
The Bad: The romances left something to be desired. They could have been worked out more. The difficulty level was somewhere around eight year old child. A one armed monkey stuffed full with a six pack of Red Bulls would be able to complete this game start to finish.
Note: The spirit meter was a minor issue for me. I really didn't have any major issues with it the first time through, but it does force the pace. After the first play through, it did get to be a bit irritating as I wanted to play more casually.
Conclusion: Buy the game for the story...
