A surprisingly fantastic game that's gone unappreciated. While the first half of the game has an about average plot, the second half of the game completely fills out the lore and consists of some really great storytelling. In terms of customization, it's amazing. Besides having 9 different classes with skills that carry between them, the amount of equipment that can be used by these classes to make a really unique character is overwhelming. While the upgrading of equipment requires some Monster Hunter gameplay (kill enemies to get resources to upgrade weapons to kill more enemies; rinse and repeat), the combat helps to brighten up this repetitive endeavor. From striking the legs of an ogre to drop it to its knees and attack its head, to climbing a griffin to light in on fire so it can't fly away, the maneuvers allowed by the games mechanics bring a lot of variability to every situation. Careful planning and a well thought out team is required to easily beat this game, but it's been fun nonetheless.
