This is easily one of my favorite titles on the PS2
I first played it completely blind and its always stuck with me as an incredibly atmospheric, charming, and funny experience.
For my first ever wizardry title I was surprised at how well balanced yet intense the game could get, i never felt like it was easy but I never felt being pushed too hard, the "Allied Actions "mechanic is honestly alot of fun to mess around with and I'd love to see it be used in other rpgs :D
the game has a simple but very well executed story and the art direction is top notch! I love the designs of all the monsters and people you come across, everything feels crafted and well loved.
it remains a hidden gem and i genuinely wish it got more recognition in the rpg scene. <3
