Once you get past the beginning and figure out how to leave town  "Illusion of Gala" from then on is a five star adventure that echos "Secret of Mana" and the Nintendo masterpeice "The Legend of Zelda: A link to the past". The soundtrack is intense when it needs to be, however it is wonderfully mellow and enjoyable most often. Truly one of the great video game soundtracks from the unforgettable ~SNES~ days. If you love RPG's and I know you do or you most likely wounldn't be on this page, you'll love this game. It has now become a classic treasure to many. Remember this if your just getting started with the game, the beginning is a long and drawn out intro. Don't get frustrated it's easy to figure out just more reading than sword swinging. The battles are just around the corner and the adventure is worth all the story that wraps around it.
