[DarkMaster]

After months of contemplating a purchase of this game, I decided just a few days ago to rent it, and have been playing it pretty steady since. I think I'm something like 3 or 4 hours in, I usually don't have time to play this much but it is rather exciting to actually be playing a next gen traditional japanese rpg, because really, besides this and Lost Odyssey (great game), there sure is slim pickin's right now.

Aside from the asinine story of "lets stop the bad guy", and the outrageously annoying Marumaro character, I have to say I'm quite pleased with what I've experience so far. Beautiful graphics, a very appealing cartoon-ish art style, I find myself wanting to keep playing just to see the next area of the world. It definitely gives off a Chrono Trigger/Dragon Quest vibe.
