A very interesting early PS2 game where your choices truly do matter and ultimately affect one of the game's six endings. I feel one of the most substantial aspects of this game is its rural setting and calming soundtrack which creates an aesthetic that makes walking around appealing in itself. The combat takes getting used to but can become very satisfying with there being plenty of different weapons that each have their own move list. My biggest gripe with this game is its lack of skippable cutscenes which becomes very grating when trying to go through multiple playthroughs. Definitely recommended if one enjoys the idea of wandering the Japanese country just keep in mind the gameplay is a little dated.
