My brother had this game on PS2 and didn't care for it very much. I haven't played it personally but it doesn't seem to be revered like other NIS games. I have a feeling that we will be seeing a lot of NIS on the Wii. The high userbase, low dev costs, and their small size seems to make the Wii and NIS a good match.

That's because the story wasn't focused on being funny.  Which is what NIS games basically hang their hats on.  People love the stories fall in love with them and keep grinding.

The circular movements combined with the unique ways you gain skills though makes the game head and tails above the rest in gameplay though.


Encouraging. Maybe I won't have to buy a DS to get my SRPG fix.

Who am I kidding?

I know how you feel.  How it works though is you gain your skills through the weapons you equip... swords, spears etc.

HOWEVER, you can equip other items as weapons that grant you skills as well.  You can swing trees at opponets, Throw Starfish, Cactus'  etc.

You gain your special effects that way... with different special attacks being tied to different stats... so you might get one attack whose damage is decided by your Magic resistance... etc so there is a lot of min-maxing that can be done.  The different element stuff is of course there as well...

You can fuse together items to make them more powerful, people to make them more powerful and get new abilties, and you can tie the special abilties that are tied to a weapon to a particular person instead by fusing the person and the weapon together.
