This game blows. The graphics are terrible, the story is just your average 'boy saves world and meets cute girls in the process' type and of course the English voice overs are terrible as always.

The battle system is just retarded. You can use three characters in a battle but only the character in the front can attack. So what do the 2 in the back do? Well basically, they cast support magic, use items or wait for the character in the front to lose a lot of HP and switch positions. Really stupid.

The game also has a dating system where you can go on a date with the female characters. By date I mean the girl asking you a bunch of questions and you trying to choose the answer that appeals to her the most. Alternatively, you can play tedious mini-games or buy her gifts. Yes, that's right, waste your hard-earned cash. Don't wanna date them? Too bad, because if you don't you won't be able to make your sword stronger.

The game does have some nice artwork though, but that alone shouldn't be enough to make you want to sit through this mess.
