Right away I was impressed with the presentation of this game. The intro with its beautiful spritework and wistful music makes you want to lose yourself in the game world and for the most part the bar set there isn't lowered too much, despite the cheesy voice work and silly plot devices here and there. Gameplay-wise it's pretty solid, featuring an interesting battle system, a large world to explore and some surprisingly difficult bosses. I remember getting lost on the world map a few times, but that was probably my own fault. As for the localization, WD said it well: localization is more than just changing item names and translating a story word-for-word. It's about conveying what the game is saying and making the player feel something.
