It certainly looks beautiful!

Wow, I only just found out this was already out in the EU. It didn't take long to play? I'm assuming there are loads of different character endings as with the Arland games? Good to hear they've speeded up travel and quest/item identification, but it sounds as if that feeling of always having to rush around and be careful about time remains one of the major stumbling blocks to full enjoyment.

I put around 60 hours into it, threetimes. NIS America sent me an advance copy. Ironically, I played through it... three times. I've actually just barely started a fourth run, for fun, but I had other stuff to do. Anyway, it's a wonderful and addictive game, and I hated that I had to give it a rating of "only" 8, but the site doesn't allow 8.5 and 9 felt too high given the time constraints and other minor annoyances. If you're into this sort of game at all, though, I can't recommend it highly enough.

Good review, Venter. I was debating on picking this one up so you've sold me.

The time restrictions tend to make achieving a particular goal or ending rather difficult, at least in Rorona, since you need to do things for the common folk and friends alike as well as getting a certain rating on your tasks for the King. I must say though, once in the zone you don't really want to stop, the alchemy system is rather addictive.
