Story is average IMO, but the world has depth. There is a since of history. My roommate pointed out to me how the word really seems alive. How's he put it. "In a lot of JRPGs it seems like world is simply exists for you to travel through." I'm paraphrasing him. So the story you follow during the game seems average to me, but the story of the world itself quite enjoyable.

While they are hardly the same, TLR's world reminds me of Mass Effect in that the games universe seems to have a real weight to it. It's not just a "Broadway set" playing background to your party's play. The cities seem like actual cities.

 

Once I am done with ToV I know I am going to spend a long time with TLR.

Only gripe I had with the limited time I played with it was that I had some characters that I couldn't use because they were leaders or something... it was like I would have 3 teams, all 3 hadd leaders and then slots for more party members below them, but I had another leader or 2 but I had to just have them sit back and rot, not being allowed to add them into the group.

I think you guys said they could be added in the PC version, any idea if they are fixing this for the 360 version?

That wss my biggest problem with the game as well and its the main reason I bought the PC version. I don't know if they are going to patch the 360 version or not. I honestly wouldn't count on it at this point. I hope I'm wrong even if it means I wasted $40 on the PC version. In PC version they removed the leader designation all together. So I'm been feeling my party with non-generic "leaders." Leaders that actually have a bio when you inspect them. I only have Baulson, Loki, and Caedmon so far. I'm rushing the game on Turbo mode trying to net as many leaders as I possible. Of course I have to progess the story line to increase my union size as well. Right now I only have 2 unions and max party size of 9. David and the Four Generals of Athlum take up 5 of those slots. Rush, Baulson, Lokie, and Caedmon are taking up the rest. Once I get Violet, I'm gonna progress the story until my party size grows and then I'll go side questings for more "leaders."
