STONe Theres only 2 volumes to this, going from how much i enjoyed the first volume, i wish there'd been more whether or not the second is any good. The style is quite different to your average popular manga, its got quite a 'scratchy' style to it. Nothing in it is particularly 'bold' like you'd expect. But the most noticable thing about it ive found is the detail to the non-main focal point, although the character designs are Okay, the backgrounds and creature designs are nothing short of brilliant. Familiar names such as 'leviathan' pop up but they manage to dodge the expectation of it. The first volume is thoroughly enjoyable, its just a shame theres so little of the manga. Popolo Crois What can i say, my favourite game of 2005. PERIOD. talk about living up to and surpassing all expectations on my part. Bright backgrounds, enthusiastic characters, exceptional storyline, just an all round great experience, with one hitch, Loading. Ack does the loading suck, it takes so damn long for anything to load, especially the monster compendium, once you've visited towns or used special moves than until you turn off and restart the game they dont need to load up again, but if you havent dont panic wondering if your games frozen, 'cos it hasnt, its just loading. Well that aside, you cant not love the characters, from the upbeat and 'goody-goody' Pietro to the self proclamied devil Gami-Gami, theres something here for everyone. Not only that, but there [i]are[/i] actually cut scenes, not like these games that tell you there are some when really its just an opening and ending sequence, throughout the game there are animated cut-scenes which really bring the whole expirience to life. I absolutely love this game, and I havent even got round to completing it yet. If your an RPG lover, its a must, with stratergical battles and vast exploration, its definantly a game you should own.
