This is bullshit. I hate how reviewers give generic cutscened filled Jrpgs of today 8s or even 9s, yet a game that tries to pull off a retro move, and seems to do a good job at it gets a freaking 5s and 6s.

Which ones are those?

Yeah, what Outlaw said. RPGs almost always get the critical shaft.



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

They do. That is one excuse that you can't really give.

Final Fantasy is really the only RPG that pushes the medium and is innovative with nearly every formal iteration.

False. But OK... your opininion. There is not a FF worthy of a 7 since the IX. But the 9's keep coming.

You're missing the point... rates are given based on the name, not game.

@ Hisiru

Some people on GameFAQs who have proof of purchase are supposedly having similar issues.

At six hours in, I have to say my complaints have been shrinking with every new town/party member who joins. I'll do a full review sometime next week.

That's basically what quite a few people are saying.  Slow start but picks up and only gets better from there.

If you own a DS, you owe it to yourself to enjoy this game.

@ Canadians who want to order on the internet, amazon.ca seems to have the lowest price of all the Canada-based online retailers, but they're currently out of stock.
