	DieAppleDie posted 27/02/2013, 01:25 i liked it, despite its flaws it is a fun game with a nice story, puzzles and grafix (those Summons) Message \| Report
	Wagram posted 18/04/2012, 02:10 Very disappointed with this game for a number of reasons. It's so darn easy, the cut-scenes are so beyond long and all they are is repetition of crap I just heard. I love JRPGs but this game isn't doing it for me. Message \| Report
	Roar_Of_War posted 11/01/2012, 07:28 Finally hit half a million. At least it manged that much, but it still deserved more. Lack of advertisement and strong competition (The DS has quite a few good RPGs going for it) hurt this game. Message \| Report

	KnM posted 26/10/2011, 04:26 A fun game and quite beautiful, but unfortunately too slow with too much dialogue and not enough action. In addition there aims a young audience which has the result of removing any difficulty Message \| Report
	NeoStar9 posted 24/09/2011, 04:17 Nintendo did a horrible job advertising this game with the little ads they did do. They explain nothing at all about the game, it's gameplay, that it's an RPG, etc. It was so long ftre the first two tha they needed to reintroduce the game but didn't seem to be bothered to. It wasn't even clear it was a Nintendo made game. Message \| Report
