Description
It's the dawn of the Unified Era, the year is 511 and there is a fragile peace existing between the kingdoms of Elyria and Athos. While skirmishes between the neighboring countries, rampant disease and dogged poverty afflict the land, it has managed to grab hold of some semblance of stability. But this stability is not meant to last. A terrifying curse is sweeping the kingdoms, one whose victims bear a mark like a brand and causing the prey to transform into grotesque, merciless beasts. The Harvest Festival in the city of Helycon has become the scene of a bloody massacre, the result of a ferocious attack on festival-goers that, rumors say, was launched by the temple maiden Elena, who had taken on the form of a monstrous beast. There is only one way to cure the spine-chilling curse, and Aeron is determined to halt its progress and save Elena, with whom he had formed an unbreakable bond. The clock is ticking and when the time runs out, the final transformation into the beast will have ended and Elena will have been forever changed. Aeron will do whatever it takes. Will you?Set off on a journey saturated with strife and dire circumstances, armed only with your companion Mavda's gift — the Oraclos Chain — and the knowledge that within the Thirteen Towers lies the antidote to Elena's curse. Leagues from the bustling capitol of the kingdom lies the desolate valley known as The Scar — a gaping maw of fathomless depth, where each of the Thirteen Towers is held in place by huge chains. Within each Tower lies a beast master at its heart, a master whose flesh holds the key to curing Elena. Destroy each master's servant beasts that exist to protect the Towers' inhabitants, and feed their flesh to Elena to temporarily halt the curse's progress. In addition to finding items around the Towers, you'll be able to tear them from the slain bodies of these servants and fuse together materials to make new items or enhance weapons. The only way into the sealed chamber where the master beast lies, and your only hope of saving your beloved Elena, is to solve complex puzzles that allow you access, so keep your wits about you — only the clever will come out alive.

Good Game but...

The overall plot and the mechanics of the games. The failure lies in the repetitiveness. Having to go in and out of each castle to repeat the same process.

I have enjoyed it so far, even if it is a bit "anime" at times.

Great game, bad camera angles. Must have for JRPG fans, one of the few games that was ported over with Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story, both of which I also recommend.
