My only complaints are over the lack of a multi-player save option which makes winning by conquest virtually impossible unless you leave your DS&#039;s on and connected for (potentially) days, and also annoying is the lack of a simultaneous turn-play mode. It&#039;s not too bad for just two player, but do three or four and everyone&#039;s going to be spending a good deal of time twiddling their thumbs.</span><span class="blurb_etc">&hellip;</span> <span class="toggle_expand_collapse toggle_expand">Expand</span></span>

                                Without really breaking new ground in tactical gameplay, the game is still able to give you plenty to think about during the excessively long battles. Character and job classes offer something different on the battlefield and this is good news seeing as there are hundreds of quests to take on aside from the main quest.

It's fun, and the class system allows for huge customization. The one drawback this game has would have to be a few of the enemies. Basically, if you are fighting anything that is undead(especially ghosts) expect to be in a battle for an hour as opposed to the 10-20 minute normal battles. They will come back to life and have a lot of very annoying abilities.

Each character has such a limited number of attacks, and there is no origionality anywhere. The story is forgettable, but complaining about that would be complaining about a Resident Evil story, so I shouldn&#039;t mind that too much, and I THINK the cutscenes are skippable, but I haven&#039;t played it in a while (for good reason) so I can&#039;t remember. Also, why do I have to pay to do side-quests? Shouldn&#039;t it be the other way around? The graphics are okay, but it doesn&#039;t save the hypnoticly boring gameplay. Also, WHY does my last name have to be Clemet? Kamacho Clemet. Rolls right off the tongue (sarcasm). Why can&#039;t I custimize that to be something else like "Michaels", or "Obama", or "McNugget" or ANYTHING BUT CLEMET!!</span><span class="blurb_etc">&hellip;</span> <span class="toggle_expand_collapse toggle_expand">Expand</span></span>
