Kamiko, I really enjoy the game. I have to warn you about a few things though. It's quite a bit harder than your average final fantasy game. There are times where you're going to have to stop and just level up for quite some time. Levelling up takes quite awhile and is essential to progressing in the game. Also, it is essential to get all the best equipment each time you have the opportunity. However, you rarely if ever had enough gold on you to upgrade everyone, even if you sell all the old stuff (and a lot of times, you don't want to sell the stuff because you can use it in the alchemy pot.)

I think it's a great, great game, but it's definitely an "old-school" RPG. I think that is one of the things that makes this game great, but some people can be turned off by that.

For the record, I bought the game because of the game, not the demo that came with it. I tried the demo and I absolutely hated it. I mailed it off to rubah so she could try it out. She seemed to like it. So it really all depends on personal taste.
