Currently on Chapter 6 & 18 hours played.
My first impressions about the game were great battle system, spot on voice acting & wonderful graphics.
The battles now are abit tedius alot like other RPG's, after getting used to the enemies, its just a matter of doing the same moves you did before to kill them in the quickest way. Also with you being able to see the enemies before you engage them, its very easy to go around them or to attack from there rear, to give you free moves at the start of the battle.
The battle camera can confuse at times, as with it spinning around dramtically at the start, its hard to know which character you are going to use first or which direction the enemy is in. This can cost you valuable move time.
Theres alot of cut scenes or events. With this game based around Chopin's music it also tells you about the man himself while you listen to some of his compositions. This is interesting at first but if you are short on play time before work/school etc it just annoys you to the point of skipping it.
Whereas I said before the voice acting is good compared to majority of game voice acting, the story at times is not as good. For example: Two characters have a conversation & one of them leaves. The other stands there talking to himself about what the two of them just discussed.
Over dramatising is another flaw in the story telling. Again Examples: Character in the story dies....takes about 15mins of talking & by this time I wanted to kill the fecker. I thought he/she might have died of old age eventually.
Then enter bad guy. Talks trash about wanting one of the party alive but will kill the rest. Then Enter Ex Party member thought lost. Says something along the lines of "You will have to go through me first" Zoom in camera to face as if the battle is about to start....but no.....more talking.
So Overall great graphics, usual RPG tedius battles but a better system than most, Good story told using good voice actors but bad script writers.
Worth buying & has replay value also.
Keep me going until "Infinite Undiscovery" by SquareEnix
