Ok, I know this review is coming really late considering the game has been out so long, but when I read the other reviews.... First of all, the graphics. THEY ROCK. They are 2d, yes, and the people are small (chibi style is what they call it). But the small people rock. They look like cartoons. When battling every character looks different, you can equip different weapons besides the swordians, and each weapon looks different. What really bugs me is that some people say the graphics [are bad], yes mabye the terrains do, and mabye the outside world does, but the battles. Hundreds of animations for each character can describe it. There are so many different moves and spells for each character(well so many different spells for characters with swordians, ill explain that later). It is amazing that they have about 50 very different looking spells per character with a swordian, and about 20 different special techniques per character(which is alot once you play through the game). I have beaten the game, and yes, the terrains for the outside world may [be bad]. But each town looks different. Each dungeon is there for a reason, and not there to get a special bonus item. Trust me, the graphics for battles are awesome, and probably the best 2d graphics out there.
