Has anyone played this game? It is on sale right now in Canada for $29.99 (again) and I am thinking of picking it up. But I haven't heard anyone around here talking about it, and you know how I love you guys.
It is a collaboration between Level 5 and Studio Ghibli so, by pedigree, it should have some measure of quality, whatever that means.
So, what's the scoop? Worth it? Long? Short? Grindy? Balanced? Fun? Anyone?

It's... whimsical. That's all I can say.

Long, some Japanese humor, but it's RPG elements are a bit weak, the game is fairly easy. I finished it up with a couple of side quests to go around the 50hr mark or so. I would say it's similar to DQVIII if you ever played that? It's an ole-school JRPG with a very light hearted story line which I love :0. If your looking for an strategy RPG or combat RPG then this game isn't going be for you.

I have played DQVIII and I like it. Not surprising they are similar since Level 5 developed both. I want to like this game. Hearing it is easy is appealing but not if it is easy to the point of being boring or not fun. Is it fun? I like the exploration aspects of DQVIII and IX. Is there some of that?

It's not good. That's all I can say about that game without triggering the urge to break something.

To answer your question yes. Both Austen and I talk about it on NFR for a couple episodes if memory serves.
Do you like to Grind?
IF the answer is No. You won't like this game.

I have now listened to your comments, Ceric and broodwars, on NFR 13 and 14. Thanks for the tip.
