    the man behind this game design is a moron. Using the same button for running and taking is the most stupid thing i ever saw in a game... This choice of game design make the millenium puzzle a pain in the butt. I hate this silly game

    Could have been a gem but the overworld nonsense, cumbersome "puzzles" that are more like torture, forgettable NPCs (that you conveniently need to remember for quests), a perverse obsession with status effects, awful controls, far too frequent enemy encounters that reward far too little, and all sorts of other frustrations take what is actually a great game and make it almost impossible toCould have been a gem but the overworld nonsense, cumbersome "puzzles" that are more like torture, forgettable NPCs (that you conveniently need to remember for quests), a perverse obsession with status effects, awful controls, far too frequent enemy encounters that reward far too little, and all sorts of other frustrations take what is actually a great game and make it almost impossible to enjoy for more than 3 minutes at a time. Play it for sure, but at your own risk. and it's one of those where you'll be playing for the rest of your life if you don't absolutely use a guide. No guide, then just don't even bother. it's a hassle even with one.… Expand

    A solid mix of visual flair, musical excellence, and story-driven gameplay.

    That said, there is no doubt that this is a fantastic game that contains believable characters (surely a rarity in the world of RPGs) and although occasionally stuttering in a fit of lost focus, manages to both charm and delight with its fresh locales and gung-ho attitude.

    The sound, on the other hand, makes me cower in a corner, trying to find a warm place. [Nov 2002, p.122]
