Just put it in the box. what can you peoples tell me about it? worth while at all?

I imagine it's worth for the story.

I got bored however... the gameplay is so... SLOW and Holme's Style fun ;_;

I hate DQ's gameplay too (as you can imagine), but the actual storyline kept my attention spans upon spans longer with LO.

I loved it. I really didn't like the battle system at first but quicky became accustomed to it. The story and characters were great.

My only beef was the ridiculous load times and how much it froze on me. And it's terrible packaging.

Terrible packaging, yes. Long load times and freezing problems? I never once experienced either of them. Load times were pretty standard for me.

The storyline is about the best there can be in an RPG, I think. It gets a little cookie cutter later on, but the ending is still pretty good. The combat system never bothered me, it was a nice change of standard turn-based boring. I also liked the skill/Immortal system. The game itself looks so damn beautiful, although it's probably already been improved on by other games.

All-in-all, it's a good game and worth a play through at least once.

Easily one of the greatest RPG storylines. And, without a doubt, some of (if not the) greatest in-game literature you will ever read. It is worth getting every single one of the Thousand Years of Dreams. I kid you not. Look up where to get them on t'internet before you start, just so you don't miss any.

[Ouch!]

It's one of my favorite games ever.

Sweet. Ok. All the feedback, the nifty dark (so far) dream sequences, and a godly run button that makes up for the extra reading. I could get into this.

agrt on the packaging...

I thought it was nice but nothing essential. I am a bitchy bitch when it comes to loading times, too. I don't have the patience to sit through 17-20 second loading times every time I'm in battle. But I doubt that bothers most people.

I would still recommend it to anyone who gets a hard-on for RPGs. Watching Kaim's rogue, immovable strand of hair that slithers down his face is worth it alone!
