Tell me how/why this game is good.

Ok, lets see...why is this game good...Got it.

The battle system is one of the more interesting types. Turn based RPG with an option that allows enemys to attack while you wait, for added difficulty. A wide range of weapons, special attacks and combo attacks to allow almost endless attack possibilities. The storyline is by far one of the best I have ever seen, and the characters make you wish you could be part of the action. The music is so good it almost makes you cry, and so do a few of the...*ahem* turns of events. With atleast 10 different endings, and the option at the end to start a New Game+, with all the data from a previous save, this game is a non-stop thrill ride that I have played for hours on end. Game completion time: around 25-30 hours. My play time: around 110 hours. I have gotten every single ending, and have accuired the strongest equipment and best magic attacks for all the characters. You might say I've gone a bit overboard, but this game kicks that much a$$.

You have to play it to know it. Its those types of games where you will get involved with the story.
