About this product

Once upon a time, a brave hero battled a terrifying dragon known as the Cruel King, and eventually emerged victorious. However, instead of delivering the coup de grace, the hero decided to cut off one of the dragon’s horns, proclaiming, "You must atone for your sins!" In the days that followed, the hero spent time with the dragon as he healed, and before they knew it, the hero and the dragon became very close friends.One day, years later, the hero suffered a fatal wound, survived by his only daughter, Yuu. He asked his good friend to raise his daughter into a great hero, and the mighty beast gave him his word as the hero’s dying wish.From that moment forth, he has watched over Yuu, serving as her protector and guide on her many adventures so that one day she can become a great hero. However, these idyllic moments won’t last forever, as the inevitable resurfacing of the truth of the Cruel King’s past nears, heralding new trials for both the king and Yuu...

    A Great Storybook Adventure

    Excellent storybook style take on classic JRPG's. Great for beginners or someone who just wants to relax with the old school style. I highly recommend this if you're trying to get your children into JRPGs. Everything about the game a story book. When you get to a new area it turns the page. When you get into a random encounter it flips many pages quickly and you end up on a new page. It's great. There's a ton of side quests that are pretty simple but what they add to the story makes them rewarding and compelling. You definitely want to do everything. However, I'm warning you here. There is a glitch that can lock you out of trophies. Make sure you save before completing any side quest and make sure they give you the collection points. Otherwise otherwise you might do something like save right after you complete the last side question realized that you're still missing 4 points. It would be nice if they patched it with an English voice over but the gentle female Japanese voice works totally fine. But it is extremely old school. If you don't like turn based, it's not for you. If you're going to cry about random encounters, it's not for you. Otherwise the story in art work is very rewarding for all ages.. The preorder story book edition is really cool. If they put a lot of love into the extras.
