This game is a blast. It's a fairly quick JRPG (unless you're a completionist, then you'll be playing for a year or two), that features some of the coolest game mechanics I've seen. The combat has you using two different characters on each screen at the same time; one controlled by the D-Pad, and the other via the touch screen and mic. It takes some getting used to, but the difficulty curve lets you learn it before it gets harder. The other cool mechanic is the item system. Different items and attacks have different brands, and different brands have more influence in different areas of the map giving boosts or handicaps depending on what you equip. It's really different, and shows me that Square Enix can still make original games on the rare occasion.

Side note: Headphones are needed for this game. I didn't realize how good the music was until I used some.
