Just dropped 60 bucks on this, played about 15 minutes (up through the first fight) and God, I just can't. Slow, boring dialogic where you wait 5 seconds between each dialogic box as characters stand completely still... clunky-seeming battle mechanics that might be fun down the line... I used to love a good rpg, even a good Tales game... but this was a waste of money since all I could think was that I never wanted to play this again.
I played through and think it is far from masterpiece. A clever concept and good dialogue does not a perfect 10 make. I found it lightly entertaining at best, obvious and cloying at worst.
I skipped the demo because the game seemed up my alley, and I'm glad I did. This game is excellent, with very forgiving checkpoints and consistently clever twists on the concept. At least on the same level of, if not superior than, Max: The Brotherhood. Definitely more brain-challenging.

I've been loving this game but there's definitely a game-changing bug at the third world that I can't bypass. That game patch would sure be nice.

As long as it's better than Oceanhorn, I'm interested! God, that game was a mistake purchase.
