The sad thing is there are a few bits that CGS does right. The ability to save anywhere, anytime, the appropriate length of the cutscenes, the generous amount of items dealt after each battle, and, last but not least, the gorgeous graphics and art direction. The seeds of a modern RPG have been planted here, but the problem is that they sprouted weeds. All the shortcomings that one would expect are present but seem to be exaggerated as if IronNos wanted to parody the genre.
