Many won't have played it yet, it only was released on the 16th. GameSpot gave it an 8.5/10, I think I'm probably going to get it. Read up on it HERE.

Well...I've played it and here are my thoughts. The game has awesome visuals, think hand-drawn backgrounds enhanced with CG for excellent looking towns and dungeons. The story is pretty cliche until about 20 hrs in, but the towns and npc's are still interesting. The best aspect of this game by far is the incredible battle system. I've been waiting for an innovative RPG for a while and after a long wait someone changes the stale turn based jump-and-slap interface with a pseudo-card battle system. The easiest way to describe how the card based battles work would be to picture PSO Ep.3 combined with final fantasy, its hard to see but just work with me here(ITS GOOD). The only drawback I've found when playing was the flat-as-a-board dubbing by one of the female characters...but no one likes her anyway. But anyway, definately check it out when you can, its goooood...

Which female chara? The one with short blond hair or the one with a black ponytail? If you refer to the latter, (Savyna) she HAS the WORST voice acting skills EVER!!!

When I downloaded the trailer for her, I nearly threw up at how bad it was. She mutters, she is really muffled, so I can only pick out one or two words. The blonde one, Xelha is not so bad, she does not mumble so much. But she does sound a bit dumb. The japanese actors sounded cool, they did not sound like they were reading from scripts.

Actually the brunette (Savyna) has a voice that fits her character. It's the blonde one that sounds terrible, she just sounds like she isnt even trying to act the part.
