I beat the game yesterday on Proud, took me around 30 hours. Thinking back, i think I'd give the game 7/10. When it's fun, it's really fun. But that wasn't always the case for me, thanks to the overly massive levels and the lack of a proper map resulting in many backtracking and wandering around, and I also think overall it should be a little more challenging combat wise, as well as making attraction abilities less common. Can't speak for the story, skipped nearly all of them except towards the end. I *think* it was a good ending with climatic battle and conclusion, but yeah decent game overall.
Visually the game was great, but don't kill me for this, I think the music was not Shimomura's best. Felt like the best ones are just remixes of previous musics. Or maybe I wasn't paying too much attention.
