If this Hong Kong gaming mag is to believed, it's all very, very true. Having rated the game a woeful 4/10, the magazine goes on to call the game the "biggest swindle in history." Harsh review much? There's more where that came from.Translation:
Scenario: 2.0
"An epic tear jerker" System: 1.0
"Such a crude system barely warrants being called an RPG at all." Graphics: 9.0
"Full marks here." Sound: 7.0
"Mostly quality." Enthusiasm: 1.0
"As if you could play this for 100 hours! I could put up with 8." Total: 4.0
"To think it got this bad
" A few excerpts from the accompanying text includes:
"The game is complete linearity until the open areas near the end. You cant even backtrack." "Of all the RPGs Ive played in recent years, this is the first which has been so linear that its little more than riding an amusement park ride." "I had heard the opinion that Its amazing once you get to Chapter 11, but why should you spend 20 or 30 hours on a game to get to the only enjoyable part? Just how do they intend to make me play this? Do they think Im some kind of masochist?" "A button mashing puzzle game with no real strategy or RPG elements and a plethora of annoying features, game as a whole is little more than a digital novel of sorts." "For such a game to approach 2 million copies sold must be due solely to the strength of the Final Fantasy brand" "biggest swindle in gaming history" "biggest joke of 2009."
