    This is a great game. Even though Final Fantasy X and X-2 were fantastic i kina like this too, because it's different.
    They could have made it so you stay on the path of the story, not just let you travel wherever, because you get lost. This is one of the reasons why i liked FFX better. I even thought that FFX-2 kept the story on track better. But for some strange reason, i like the way you can travel everywhere for a reason that i can't explain.

    She might have mentioned the leveling upgrades alchemy pot etc in the full written review? Or did anyone bother looking there, otherwise I think this review is pretty neat.

    She says what I need to know before I buy this game, and you know what, I bought it! And I'm loving it

    this is a good game for people who have never played a turn-based rpg to really get into the genre. It's battle system is very simple and it hasn't tried to complicate the standard turn-based style like the recent Final Fantasys. It's plain old fun!

    I disagree with the criticism about some battles being difficult, and taking a long time. Having a challenge improves the game.

    It's annoying how any review for a traditional RPG ends up as a recommendation of, "If you like the genre, you'll like the game, if you hate random encounters, you'll hate the game."

    There's more to JRPG's than random battles.

    Fantastic game, bad review, she didn't even mention half the things you could do on the game including upgrades, weapons and side quests. She just seemed to focus on the battle aspect.
