Playing this game made me feel very reminiscent of Final Fantasy 7 and all the other old JRPGs I played when I was younger.

Be warned the game itself is very old school, which is probably why liked this game. The battle system is turn based and you have random battle encounters.

The graphics are very good but the soundtrack is the biggest strength adding emotion to the long cut scenes. I recommend getting the soundtrack if you can.

The storyline I found to be very engaging and emotional at some points. A 1000 year old immortal who has no recollection of his past must help stop a raging magical maniac from taking over the world. As the story progresses and Kaim recalls memories you discover that the main bad guy and Kaim are past acquaintances, but I wont say anymore to spoil the story.

However the best part of the game for me personally was reading the journal entries. As you progress through the game certain areas and events will trigger a memory in Kaim about his past life. Although these are not cut scenes but short stories like a diary. I found them to be very entertaining and emotional.

In terms of achievements they are not hard to get just time consuming. 500 points come from just completing the game. The rest of them come from gaining all the skills for every character and collecting every treasure in the world etc. It took me around 40-60 hours for 100% completion with 1000 gamer score.

All in all not to everyones taste but I personally found it very entertaining and a worthy purchase.

Also I bought the Asian region free version as you get the better case which has four separate disc trays for each disc and comes in a fatter case. The English comes with 3 discs on one spindle and a fourth in a paper case wedged with the manual.
