Truly epic console rpg. Not only has great grpahics and battle system but it actually has likeable characters. The gameworld is both unique (flying islands) and inviting. The game lends itself to exploration a bit by finding ruins. Also includes a semi ship battle mode. Drawbacks is combat can get a bit slow at parts. Otherwise a great console rpg... too bad the DC didnt have anymore rpgs like this (expcept Grandia 2).
