with all the high review praising this game, I finally decided to buy it. what a disappointment, it's a pile of garbage that didn't age well. you have a huge world that allows you to travel anywhere as soon as the game starts, but what's the point? too much freedom kills the excitement and completing quests isn't rewarding for the amount of time you waste. you have to constantly feed your party and carry a load of food in your inventory. to check your inventory or character stats, you have to go through a tedious process of double clicking on each character and double clicking on their backpack or heart symbol. then to close the menus, you have to click on the checkmark icon. what a mess. the dialogue system sucks along with an exotic font that's hard to make out, it's so annoying you'll quickly lose all interest in talking to anymore NPS's. I won't even go into the battle system. how does this game get such praise? I quickly lost all motivation to continue playing.
