The story is meh and some of it a bit predictable though I admit I am unsure how they are going to do the last part of it. The characters are meh and I dislike Agnes and find her annoying and hyprocritical(sp...) and the only character I enjoy is Edea though possibly because her way of thinking reminds me of my mother so she is likable and relatable to me. Plus she's my top character. After they get all the crystals, I find the game repetitive and some dialogue repeated with minimum changes. Some may enjoy it, but I don't quite care for the route they went with it. Perhaps my opinion will change once I actually get to the ending but I doubt it. The gameplay is also pretty simple which is alright. Only time I had trouble is near the end of getting all the crystals with those side quest bosses. Though I just may need to level more despite being level 75. Not sure how to feel about the streetpassing... don't quite care leaving my DS on 24/7 just to get villagers. Battle system is alright.
