    This game would be cool, if it didn't compare itself to final fantasy! it is so patronisingly simple and over-explained, that i couldn't bare to sit through it! a 30 second explanation on 'how to use a switch'?! it hurts... it's mjor redeaming feature, and the only reason I struggled on through the repetitive and pointless (a retry function??) was the dialogue - This game would be cool, if it didn't compare itself to final fantasy! it is so patronisingly simple and over-explained, that i couldn't bare to sit through it! a 30 second explanation on 'how to use a switch'?! it hurts... it's mjor redeaming feature, and the only reason I struggled on through the repetitive and pointless (a retry function??) was the dialogue - surprisingly snappy and amusing. I would say to only play this if you can't go and get yourself an old copy of FFX instead!… Expand

    I rented this game when that was a thing that people still did. Having payed good money for the time I had with this game, i forced myself to be subjected to fighting alongside characters like this man who thinks that he is a beautiful girl...That just doesn't say "awesome" to me.

The gameplay is poor quality and I ended up boxing it and returning it several days early after getting maybe 10 hours in. This "game" would only be attractive to someone obsessed with JRPGs to the point that they do not mind poor quality.… Expand

    My friend let me borrow this game, and boy it is cheesy. The acting is annoying, the characters are so weird and not funny. I wasted my time. So disappointed. I wonder if the people who made this game knew that this game was absolute crap? I do not recommend this game.

    Ce truc, ce bidule, ce machin, cette chose... est développé(e) par From Software, développeur japonais bien connu pour développer les pires étrons jamais développés ou plutôt démoulés dans le monde du jeu vidéo.

    Mais qu'importe. Dans les "armes enchantées" on a un exemple très probant de personnages très gays qui font leur coming out à chaque réplique (en anglais), de la présentation habituelle des jeux de rôle japonais (d'un mauvais goût constant dans les menus et l'interface) et d'un système de combat au tour par tour conçu par un stagiaire ou plutôt un salary man complètement défoncé au saké.

    En plus de cela, c'est vilain et très limite techniquement. Et c'était une exclusivité Xbox 360... cela prouve jusqu'où Microsoft était prêt à s'enliser et se noyer pour proposer des jeux qui plaisent aux Japonais. En vain.    … Expand

    [EM]-eNCHANT aRM- has a predictable, yet entertaining, plot featuring a small cast of likeable characters, a moderate sized world that will take about 40 hours to explore, and a good battle system. Sure the graphics are a mixed bag, music is strangely absent, and the encounter rate is high, yet it's still a nice start for next-gen rpgs. [JPN Import]

    [eM] is most impressive when placed in its proper context: From Software managed to craft a sprawling, 60-hour-long, traditional J-RPG on a next-generation platform in an incredibly short ammount of time....and it's actually pretty darn good. [Mar 2006, p.61]

    It’s a unique offering for 360 owners – as it would have been for Xbox – certainly, but one who’s highlights can’t match those of the RPGs currently burning brightly on PS2. [Apr 2006, p.87]
