This is an RPG on the Nintendo DS. Originally this game was for SNES then PSone, then the GBA and eventually the proper remake came for the DS.
The one for all the consoles except DS had the same old style graphics, although great gameplay.
DS made full use of its potential and created this new 3-D version complete with animated scenes with voiceovers and a nice FMV at the begininning of the game.
The game tells the story of Cecil, a knight of Baron, and how he becomes from a dark knight wroking for an imposter king, to a Paladin, warrior of light so to speak..
Kain, Cecil's rival and friend in battle accompanies him in his journey.
The king sends Cecil and Kain off to a village to supposedly deliver a ring, little do they know, its actually a ring of fire, which ends up destroying the whole village, a girl called Rydia, a summoner in the game eventually joins your team.
Cecils 'lover' Rose, also joins your team and a ninja from the castle Elban called Edge joins your team too.
This is your main team throughout the game, although other characters join your team temporarily.
The actual game is about gathering 4 light crystals and 4 dark crystals from the Overworld and the Underworld before Cecil's enemy Golbez (his brother which you find out later on) does.
The story has a lot of depth and is quite enjoyable and serious too.
The fighting system is quite good too, its turn based but for each characer to attack etc a gauge bar must fill up, you can control the speed of this bar in the options for fast or slow battles.
This game is VERY hard if you are playing it for 1st time, you must muster tactics for the bosses at the end of each 'level'(level meaning like cave, dungeon scattered accross the 2 worlds etc) each boss is very tough in the game and require difficult tactics as opposed to just attacking to defeat, this makes the game quite a challenge.
Eventually, Golbez sees sense by his uncle Fusoya, and travels to the moon with him (lolwut)..
Anyways, you can travel the big wide worlds (Over and Underworld) each which has many places to visit and dungeons etc to master.
You can use various ships/boats etc to travel to every inch of the world maps.
Eventually again, you get a ship Lunar Whale, which travels to the moon.
The point of this is to go the Crystal Palace thingy which is on the moon, and to go to the core of the moon through it to defeat the last boss Zemus.
The game can be played 3 times total on a same save file, and on the 2nd and 3rd time its played through, you can fight super bosses which adds the impossibility feature on this game..
It is nigh upon impossible to defeat these bosses even when all your characters are maxed stats and levels, adds something work for i guess..
Game is a must buy in my opinion.
Thanks for reading.
