I just got this game. I heard some of the music from the "This is your theme" topic and I haven't heard anything bad about the game so I was on the fence, but your quote made me want it. If it doesn't live up to it, I will hunt you down :flowerpower:
The biggest gripes people seem to have with the game are the graphics (sure, they might seem a bit "off" at times but I think it looks great) and the sidequests/missions. They can be pretty tediuos, but they actually provide a great deal of humor in the game. Oh and I guess the
one mandatory fishing quest pissed a number of people off, but that's because they were fishing in the wrong spot. It takes less than a minute to catch the damn thing. =/
The controls took a little getting used to, but once you do it's really quite fun. All of the characters are great, I love the story, and the voice acting is top notch. When I heard Nier speak I was like "HO-SHIT, IT'S OVAN! THIS IS AWESOME." Liam O'Brien (Endrance) does the voice for Grimoire Weiss, too. And of course, the music~<3 I'm so happy I came across that thread, too, because I would've never noticed this game if it wasn't for that.
