I did beat it a little while ago, and overall, hmmm not quite as a good as a final fantasy, which is basically what it was trying to mimic (Sakaguchi what). The story was decent and pretty by the books, save for the written short stories, the Memories of a Thousand Years, they were incredibly well written and very emotional. I think the actual game could've been based off these stories, and I think it would've worked out a lot better, but oh well.

Really, it was a sub-standard traditional RPG affair, better than most, but not up there with the best, Mass Effect is still the king for RPGs this generation (though I haven't played oblivion). Very pretty at times, good localization/voice acting, interesting dungeons/world, I'd definitely recommend it seeing as this generation of consoles is pretty severely lacking in traditional RPGs.
