Got it in the post this morning and at first I was anything but impressed. It just had Dreamcast game written all over it, further I got in the more I started to like it though.

The graphics aren't up to much, though they're never ugly (except in the bits where you're flying the ship). Ususally hate turn based combat but I gotta say this is quite fun, the special moves look bad-ass...well at least the one i've seen does.

So far so good, I can see it getting more involving the further in you play. So ummmm yeah, good game so far, I shall go and play some more in a bit.

One thing that made me laugh was playing hide and seek with the tard kids, for some reason they have the strange idea that if they stand behind a washing line with their legs clearly showing, then people can't see them.

In terms of hide and seek techniques, Zelda's kids win the first round :D

I just got back to my home town, and it's in ruins.

*Sobs*

I spent about 10 minutes on that 2nd boss.

Didn't die once though, and haven't done yet, so I'm happy.

I know I haven't exactly done much yet, but that'll change tomorrow, when I plan to play the game for 5 hours.

Tried that.
Nothing ...

Maybe I'll do a few slidey-pieces puzzles and hope some cash explodes from a snobby butler's undermouth.

Go and chop some grass and smash some pots with your sword.

Might find some cash.

It's actually similar.

The battles can seem Final Fantasy-esque and the whole idea of travelling around using magic and the like makes the game seem very similar to Final Fantasy.

I'm liking it better than I ever liked any of the Final Fantasy games though.

YEY SKIES!
