I created an account just to comment on this article. The most offensive thing in this review was the fact that the reviewer claims this game has abysmal dialog. On the contrary, I found the dialog (and especially the humor) in the game to be one of it's strongest aspects. The Meta-game type jokes and humorous towns people you would come across had me laughing out loud throughout most of the game. The dialog is great, this reviewer didn't bother to take the time to find out.
Second, yes, the battle system is a bit tedious, but that comes with the territory in JRPG's. If you are sitting down to play a traditional JRPG you better be ready for long and sometimes slow battles. It just comes with the territory. But it certainly didn't deter my fun much. There were plenty of large areas to explore where combat wasn't an issue.
Anyway, next time maybe find someone who actually likes JRPG's to do a review of one. It would make more sense. People that don't like JRPG's aren't going to like this game. Why have someone who doesn't like them review it in the first place?
My advice? Buy Pier Solar, especially the Genesis original. It will insure that games like this will continued to get made. Although the success of the game speaks for itself.
