At the start getting into this game was strange and frustrating because the main characters opt out attitude, but this changes at some point and I found myself if only for a few moments liking him. I thought the combat would be hard but after lowering the difficulty everything was smooth and what I like is that the game automatically raises it back up. The food and clothing system are cool and getting money is real easy. I'm in between on the story, but I do like the mysteries thrown about. I'm terribly in love with the music too.
I've been playing nothing but Dragon Quest IX on my DS since it came out. This is the only game to break my cycle. This is a really good game.
