Quintet's worst release, including their Inuyasha PS2 JRPG. I think that the setting for the game was really cool, with the closet comparison I could think of being Skies of Arcadia, and their combat system makes sense as a continuation of their previous ARPGs. The anime cutscenes also look nice for what they are.

Nothing else works in the game for me. I played this game for 20 hours and I couldn't tell you the main character's name. There's so much in this game that's either feels like an unenthusiastic adaptation of an existing property (that doesn't exist) or is outright frustrating like the input reading combat. There's bad music in a Quintet game! It's so hard to divorce this game from what their previous games managed to accomplish, but even when I do put those games out of my mind this still isn't a game I had a great time going through. Couldn't recommend even to diehards of the company, and it really sucks to say that.
