The game it is good.

I use it in comparison to the FF's in the same way I compare Doctor Seuss to Orson Scott Card, or Mary Shelly to Milton. Both are good.. but the second one is usually on a different level.

So FF's are more hashed out and unique in story but LoD is just fun to play(although replayablility is lower then in FF(for me anyways). That game is fun... and you should get it... or find someone to loan it to you... I would if we happened to live anywhere near one another.
