Wait......it took you 8 hours to complete the game.....is that a typo? Well, I disagree about the story. Gameplay is pretty simplistic, but the creation of items is where the true value of the game lies. Totori and Meruru are vastly superior games in my opinion though.

Edit: It was easily a 20-30 hour game for me....maybe longer.

Yeah that was a typo.  I thought i put in 20 hours instead so thanks for pointing that out.  Shows how tired i am atm.  You may disagree with the story and i will respect that because everyone has different opinions.

Yeah.....I think you captured it when you said the game's not for everyone. I thought the story was a breath of fresh air.....no world-saving situation or huge conflicts. Personally, I think the game is a bit rough around the edges, but they vastly improved the formula in subsequent games.
