I never played it on Wii, but for 3DS standards, we just got an amazing, long game with a load of exploration and quests to do. A lot of mechanics to master. A lot of skills and strategies to check out. A lot of cutscenes to watch, a lot of amazing music to listen to... A lot of goodness embedded into that small catridge.
   
   Game is, long story short, about a conflict between organic and mechanical races, that both live on huge, lifeless giants that used to fight long time ago. The setting of the game juggles epicness, jrpg-like cuteness and... a little bit of shocking, grim atmosphere here and there, since the machines' favourite food are organic races.
   
   What is amazing about this game is the number of side-quests and their meaning. You actually get access to a map of people you talked to, and upon discovering connection between them they get connected on the grid with specific relation. You can change/enhance that relations by doing different quests, and those sometimes offer you a choice. Upon doing quests more and more of them are coming. Just finding every npc in the game is challenging task.
   
   Areas you're about to explore are vast, interesting, and filled with strong monsters. Music is amazing, and the battle system is easily the best I've ever seen in jrpg.
   
   I could go on. The thing is, if you don't have Wii, just go and get this game, it's worth it. I can't think of a single thing that's wrong with it, unless you hate doing a lot of side-quests and reading a lot of equipment/skill details.… Expand

   I saw this game played by a youtube and I instantly knew I had to at least try it for myself, being a huge fan of JRPGs and all. I knew it wasI saw this game played by a youtube and I instantly knew I had to at least try it for myself, being a huge fan of JRPGs and all. I knew it was very different with the combat system but I was excited to learn the ins-and-outs of it all. As I progressed through the game I found many neat strategies for defeating enemies and winning fights. I ended up grinding to max level, completing every quest, and beating every super boss, and this was the first game I enjoyed doing this. The way it handles the superboss fights with unlocking them after certain points and having each drop gear that helps fight the next one. The final super boss was an insane challenge but so satisfying to complete the fight. Throughout the story, I was constantly guessing what would happen next and I was always surprised to see something new play with the theme of the game and using what I knew to surprise me. The characters and character swapping system was great and allowed really neat combat systems that I personally loved. I would max affinity between everyone so early because I would be constantly wanting to fight. The whole story is beautiful, it takes you through an amazing set of scenery and it really makes you think. it addresses themes of religion but none specifically, it really is an amazing game and I say you must play it.… Expand

Visually, yes it was, but the immersion I felt in the game world and with the characters was even better. I could explore the Bionis on the go and bring a staggeringly huge world with me in my pocket. Fluid gameplay, great voice acting, beautiful scenery, interesting story. Totally worth a **** if you have some time.… Expand

   It seems pretty expansive with a lot going on. I actually wish that I had more time to give this game proper attention, because I feel like there's a lot to be taken in here. I'm curious about the world and I find it neat that they've given the townsfolk interactiveness beyond the usual two-phrase statement (although they still have this), but unfortunately there's so much of a web of interaction that I just can't spend the brain power to keep up with it. Not when I only have 20-30 minutes in between things during my day to play. Oh well, not the game's fault, it's mine for slipping further into adulthood.
   
   My one big complaint is the camera. Half the time I can't see what I'm fighting and having to manually swing the camera around to keep track of things is really getting old. I'd probably rate this game a 9 if it weren't for that, but honestly it may cause me to quit before the end. Perhaps I'm not doing something correctly, or there's an option I haven't found, but it sure is bugging the crud outta me.… Expand
