Initially I have no idea the game is about because the gameplay and combat system is based on the older Squarenix games, Star Ocean's battle system & Suikoden. I haven't played those 2 games. In a way it is good because it is a fresh game experience for me.
Anyway, I was guessing my way through the game before I realised that it is a good game. The characters are cartoonish although I prefer the FFX charcters that is closer to human. The look and feel of the game needs some getting used to. I begin to get into the game when Jack Russell (the hero) was fired from his job as a Radiata Knight. From here on I managed to understand how to use the various slashes that corresponds with the sword he can carry. He can carry various weapons such as a one handed sword, two handed sword, axe & spears.
I am getting into the game and try to finish it in 3 months time.
