Customer Reviews

Don't bother!
Quite honestly, don't bother with this! It is ok in it's own way but soon gets annoying, the fights don't give you enough gelders (currency units) to buy things you need to survive and the fights themselves are repetitive and irritating. The story line is confused and often there are points where you don't know what to do because the translation is so bad. Also, the sidequests that are available are not at all obvious in places and if you miss them by going on to a new area, you can't go back!!! GRRR!!! All in all, frustrating and annoying. If you want a good RPG go for Popolocrois!

Moderate RPG lucky-magic-fun-time
I don't know why this game has such a bad rep, I bought it not knowing anything about it and must say I've found it rather enjoyable thus far. If anyone remembers the amazing Shining Force games, this plays very much like them. In the battle sequences anyway. It does get a bit annoying at times, especially when you forget to save and then die, but then that's true of most games. It isn't a terribly well balanced party you control either, ranging from extremely powerful to almost useless characters. Another annoying aspect of the game is that party members come and go, so you might spend a lot of money tooling up some characters only to have them leave you a short while later. I've not finished it yet though so maybe they'll come back. I've only given the game three stars for "fun" due to these points but I might be being a bit harsh. The translation is rather bad as well and the game is full of crazy japaneseness but some of us find that quite endearing. There are far better rpg's out there for the psp but this is far from the bottom of the list.
