The setting and story felt rather compelling early on. I almost thought I was gonna get some chrono-trigger type of fix. But....urgh. Combat is too slow. The first few combats it's not so bad, because you're learning the system, getting used to the flow. But when you hit the second encounter area it's just...why. I've sometimes noticed emulators have fast-forward buttons on them. If you can find a way to do that for this game, perhaps that would be a fine thing.
