<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Yes I played 10 hours pretty much straight all day yesterday... though I don't necessarily think it's the greatest game ever. Let's start with what's not good about the game:
Music - there's virtually no music in this game. The first 4 battle I fought uses the same battle music as regular enemies.
Battles are excessively long. It took me 17 minutes to beat Margulis. Good thing MOMO's voice is bearable in the English version since you have to cast heal EVERY ROUND to just stay alive (I didn't know about MOMO guard until quite a bit after). I forgot how long DOMO-Carrier took but it's got to be longer since it just keeps on heal itself for 600 damage every turn... the catch is that you can barely do 300 a round with all 3 of your people if you're lucky without leveling up. I suspect the game might be easier if I use the point upgrade items but I haven't decided my final party so I don't want to commit any permanent items on members.
Story is pretty mundane, despite whatever praise you may have heard about the game. It's just one big conspiracy after another. Of course Shion is the only person in the game who doesn't know there's a billion conspiracy going on (well, at least those who do not are smart enough to be quiet so they don't sound like idiots).
So what's good about the game? The characters. It makes a otherwise mundane title enjoyable. Namco's choice of voice actors is quite good, and most notably Jr. and MOMO actually sounds like 12 years olds as opposed to super high pitched Japanese whatevers.</div>
