The demo will give you a very good idea of how the game plays, although you will have no idea what the story is like, which is actually pretty well done. I thought it was done in an interesting way as well, as it feels like you are reading a detective story in a serialized novel or something.
I definitely recommend the game if you like JRPG's already. The active combat system is one of the games strong points for sure. I really didn't have too many complaints about the game except that Keats and Ellen's sections weren't differentiated enough, but the fact that their Folk do pretty different things helped alleviate that some.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
