I picked it up on Wednesday. I only played about an hour all grinding, and unless the game gets horribly bad at the end Then this game is a very good RPG. In the end I don't think reviewers have played a japanese styled RPG. Oh and to my boi Perpride; don't skip out on this game plays like Final Fantasy XII but without any of the problems I have with Xii's combat (Problems I have personally with it not necessarily someone else would have)
