I'll start off with addressing the feature that most people are getting this game for: the visuals. With designs and cinematics by Studio Ghibli, this is simply one of the most visually stunning games in anyone's collection. The world and characters are filled with so much charm, you'll instantly be sucked in. The story is a tad on the juvenile side and the voicework takes a little to get used to, but after a while it won't matter; you'll eventually be absorbed into a wonderful journey.
The gameplay is a mix of the Tales of series with a little bit of Pokemon. There's so many creatures to collect and have them do battle; You'll definitely have a couple of favourites! Overall, this game remined me of what RPG's used to be when I was younger: charm, a great world map, open travel, interesting characters. I'm definitely recommending this one!

Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a must buy for any JRPG lover. Don't be fooled by the kiddish design, or by anyone who says that this game is meant for kids. It's suitable for all ages, be they children or adults who can still appreciate the childhood they once had. The story is great, not New York Times Bestselling novel great, but it provides a heartwarming and engaging experience. The gameplay is superb, with the familiars adding a lot of diversity. However, the game itself isn't overly difficult, so if you dislike that this may not be your cup of tea. One of its best characteristics is the art design. Made by Studio Ghibli, it essentially looks like a film that they would make.

I know I am one! Never played the genre before so I needed a little bit of adaptation for the gameplay style and written dialogue. But the game do a really good job of taking your hand from start with a gradual tutorial implementing the gameplay. Obviously, the visuals are superb. The story reminds me of the anime back in my own childhood. The child missing one parent, two parents and all that stuff about separation anxiety... A great, different experience so far.
EDIT: After 35 hours in I went from 4 stars fun to 5.

Fun to pick up, hard to stick with
I feel that this game has been hyped up a bit too much just because a) it's pretty unique, and b) it's for a niche market - the only people excited about this game are either fans... Read more

A wholesome adventure compromised by antiquated JRPG gameplay
As an Adventure RPG this game is wonderful. The graphics are amazing and I would rather see the crisp digital animation in lieu of the traditional ink & paint animation (the latter... Read more

Gorgeous & fun game - well worth the buy! Can be frustrating at times when side quests are unclear but they don't take too much figuring out.

Best RPG for PS3!
This is my favorite RPG for the PS3. The story can be a little bit childish but the game play makes up for it.
