Here's my issue...and why I haven't continued playing:

Do you get anymore upgrades/abilities? I'm already flying around and I don't seem to be using the light for anything except opening treasure chests. Is the only real appeal to this game the blend of side scrolling with turn based RPG? When I got the sword I was stoked...and then I realized I wouldn't be using it in the real world and my excitement instantly turned to malaise.

Someone please get me excited to load this title up again...I just can't be bothered with it if it's just a glorified turn-based RPG.

The light, or Firefly can be used to slow down your opponent in combat letting you delay him or strike first. It can get quite tense in planning your strikes.

In the actual world you're essentially just exploring and looking for chests and the next town, but being able to fly and the just the music alone makes that fun.

I don't know if you've noticed, but you can also use it to heal a member of your party. Deciding whether to heal a party member or blind an enemy is pretty interesting. Not sure if it's a complete innovation, but I've never seen anything like it.
