i was a little skeptical when i first bought the game because i had never heard of the series. im glad i bought it though. it turned out to be one of my favorite rpgs alongside final fantasy VII and star ocean: second story.
first off, the graphics are amazing. i believe some of the best seen in the lifespan of the great psx. second, the battle system was awesome, i have never seen any game other than this to have in battle player switching. finally, it had a unique approach to everything, so it was different from any other rpg i have played.
it did have a couple of problems though. it had many strange camera angles so things couldnt really be seen clearly. the puzzles were a little harder than i would have liked and they were too numerous, so it took away from the story.
while a great little rpg, this falls far from an epic. lets hope to see more from capcom on the next BoF, if there is one.
