Let me start off by saying if you like RPG's than you will enjoy this!I did not expect much from this game however I am enjoying it for the most part. Basically it is a classic turn based style combat with a twist where you actually control your character during your turn as in swinging your sword and using specials.A few of the characters can sometimes be downright childish but overall I liked most of them.The story gets erratic at times (maybe due to japanese translation) but enjoyable.The cut scenes are tedious...sometimes lasting 20 minutes!!! SOme are enjoyable and some are not.You also get to learn about CHOPIN and his music which I enjoyed.Your looking at about 15 to 20 hours of quick gameplay and 25 to 35 hours if you want to explore every thing and get all the achievements.Bottom line is get this if you like RPG's!!
