Review

Good

  • The pre-rendered background graphics are very nice, and help alleviate the problem of tiled backgrounds.
  • The full-motion video merges seamlessly between the static game play.
  • The materia magic system is original and fun. I like the idea of being able to customize character's abilities.

Bad

  • Merging Middle-Ages weaponry with lasers and machine-guns is stupid.
  • The 3D environment makes controls rather annoying with it always changing perspective. I find myself often backtracking and turning away from my goal all the time.
  • The vast majority of the monsters are so avant-garde I don't really know what to make of them.
  • I'm not very impressed by the game's music. I find most of the themes to be rather repetitive and bland.

Ugly

  • So many of the special combat abilities take way too long. It feels more like I'm watching a movie than playing a game.
  • I have little appreciation for most of the characters. Their back-stories are dull and uninspired, and I don't care if they die.
