The majority of the time spent making this game went to the graphics and non-interactive cut-scenes but none of these aspects are important to make a great gameplay experience; none of these will help make video games be regarded as a major art form.
The bottom line is simple: If you're buying looking for the sexiest and most beautiful looking interactive movie ever made then buy this without hesitation. However, If you're looking for a RPG with more than just pretty graphics and instead with good RPG game design and interactive storytelling then you should avoid it
