im just over ten hours in and just aqcuired my aqua blastia achievement, and already this game is the best rpg i have played for the 360, and i have played many in a very short time period. the storyline starts off slow for about 2 hours, then picks up little by little in a snowball effect until your wrapped in the game! the gameplay is great and if your lazy u can set the game to play the battles itself, but even if your terrible youll perform better than the cpu does. the gameplay and storyline become more and more captivating as you proceed through the game from lame to amazing, as all tales games do.
this game has earned my five stars because im only MAYBE a quarter into it and im in love, and that is far better than any other rpg for the 360 i have played thus far. the characters are great, the gamepla is entertaining, and the storyline is likewise awesome. plus every female character is super hawt ;) my fave perk in any rpg game! and u even get a dog smoking a pipe! how cool!
