    DefinItely for the hardcore niche. If you enjoyed gameplay in titles such as Xenogears this game is for you. The story leaves some to beDefinItely for the hardcore niche. If you enjoyed gameplay in titles such as Xenogears this game is for you. The story leaves some to be desired but the addicting gameplay in terms of control layout makes for a type of JRPG that hasn't been seen in a while. Turn based with button designated moves like triangle for upwards attacks, X for downwards, Square for Paralyze and Circle for ranged it keeps the turned based mechanic feeling fluent and fun through a somewhat recognizable outing.

Boring quest system if that even be called quest ... kill 10 of regular enemies or 2 of rare and come back. rinse repeat 360 times. thats all there is to this game. There is also disturbing sexual art in here that snuck up on me out of the blue and not in a nice way. Disturbing is the only way to describe it. Minigames that will break your controller if you play them by that consist of breaking off the stick or mashing same button 999999999999 times. Yah ok. I'll be going now. Cross Edge was way better than this and that game was terrible.… Full Review »
