And I had a blast! What a fun game. I was sorry to see it end because I wasn't quite done yet. After the game is finished, you get an option for "New Game +," which is where you start all over again but get to keep all of your high-grade weapons and armor and tech (magic and special attacks) and experience. That didn't sound very fun to me, because half the fun was in the battle strategies development.
So I went shopping for a new DS RPG and came home with a Lunar game and a Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. I played about eight hours of the Lunar and am still undecided whether I like it or not. Kinda leaning toward not, but I'll give it a bit more time.
