This game is the perfect 10. Storyline is great, graphics are stunning and you won't be able to put it away.
The battle system is turn based, during witch you are able to equip various types of rings weapons and items that will help you exploit your opponents weaknesses, and you will have to do so 'cause battles are hard to win. There are a lot of side-quests that will keep you occupied and help you, and the members in your group to level up. To complete the full game you will put in a good 70 hrs or so don't make any plans for the weekend and take a week of work to enjoy yourself.
Exploring in this magical world is so much fun.The world is wast there are caves, forrests, towns villages and maze like castles and so on. You will want to talk to everyone go to every corner and in the process fight a lot of random battles.
Cut scenes are long sometimes emotional and loading time is a drawback but this is not a game that you can finish in one sitting so it's not a mayor disturbance. Controls are good and synchronizations of images, spells and battles all reflect on the vibrating game-pad intensifying the experience.
Personally I never enjoyed this type of games before (you can say I'm more of an action-RPG type-oblivion, mass effect etc...) but this game turned me around hence the 10. Hope you enjoy it.
