Very challenging
Awesome artwork, good animation, great soundtracks (even more so, being a Zelda fan), and a real challenge as well. The one major flaw I have with this game is the lack of a checkpoint. It's very frustrating going through the entire game, getting the final boss down to 1/3 hp, then getting nuked with a spirit bomb and having to start from the very beginning again. This issue, along with a few other minor strategy issues (no option to change order, purify only affecting one target while several monsters can cause status effects on both players) have all been addressed in the second game, so I really won't get too critical with it. It's an amazing game regardless, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to all the RPG fans out there.
