This game is so cool. It doesn't feature jaw-dropping graphics, but there are absolutely beautiful anime cutscenes. The storyline is simple enough that it doesn't get in the way, but is compelling enough that you will play it till the end. There are several characters, and all of them are featured in an anime shot when you first meet them. This game is another success, and once i knew there was a sequel, I ran to the store and picked it up. A little side note, if you can get the box set, it is fantastic. It includes a hardbound book and the Making of CD. If you are a RPG fan, definitely go out and pick this one up.
