Dude, for real?! BTW, I'm excited for this.
Now hear me out, yes, the story in the game does suck, I'd say 5/10, but it does have some moments. Some!
But the gameplay is the fun part of the game. I enjoy the fighting system and the large exploration the game yields. Not to mention the game had SO many side quests and sadly, many lost forever's (a point in the game where you can't receive certain items or quests ever again). And the music, Sakuraba is awesome!! (Incarnation of the Devil anyone?). Gameplay alone, I'd rate it nearly a 8/10.
Characters on the other hand, oh boy! Here's a short list.
Edge - (Character story 4/10, but game play wise, he's great for beginners, so 8/10) ~ 6/10
Reimi - Savage Sparrows / 10 (She's a beast
)
Lylmle - 5/10 (Minus 1 for her constant Kayyyyyyy, but gameplay, a bit okay)
Faize - .....7/10 (Don't you judge me! I won't say more.)
Bachus - 8/10 (His dub is actually decent and love using him sometimes during super grinding)
Bird Chick - 0/0/0/0/0 (I'd be happy to delete her, but we need a white mage
, I never play as her, only during dire moments.)
Meracle - X-CLAW / 10 (One of my favorite jugglers in the game, just love spamming that R2 and L2)
Myuria - 5/10 (many just like her just because of her...personality, but she's the black mage)
Arumat - 9/10 (My Dragon Grinder)
Now the reason why I'm excited is the possibility for any tweaks. The game is fun, but there's several things I wish the game did improve. For one, the extra characters that were meant to be playable, (Crow, Kenny, ...and not Welch, I liked her other SO versions). That and the game could use a better post game, the last post game dungeon (The Wandering Dungeon) is just too brutal, it needs to be a tad easier and less tedious. That and the battle trophies need to be MUCH less ridiculous (Obtain 255 blah blah items or defeat Etheral Queen in less than 10 minutes). Not to mention it needs a better Steal mechanic.
Say what you want, but the game isn't all that bad, I just wish it was better improved. If it is just a simple port, at the very least, I want the game modded on PC
