A bit overdue...

Hi all! Remember, a few posts back, how I was upset about losing the Bid on Destrega? Well a day or two after that, another one came up for 'Buy it Now'. I jumped for utter joy and ran to my mum giving her the good news, I then proceeded to click on the button and purchase the game. The reason I didn't mention this at the time is because I'm a pretty supersitious person, believing that if I hype over something, something bad will happen ^_^;; Anyways, a few days later (which would be last Friday), the game I have long awaited finally popped through my letter box in astounding condition. You, dear Seller, do not realise the extent of my gratitude, you truly made my moment *big smile*

Well, I played the game and still love the battle system, playing 1-on-1 with the older of my two younger brothers. After having enough, I went on to give Story Mode a whirl and was surprised to find that it incorporated Voice Acting...my face was plastered with shock. Voice Acting? In a PS One game? No way! The only other game I knew of that had Voice Acting (in the sense of Role-Playing) was The Legend of Dragoon, and even then it was pretty minor. The graphics were pretty good too, rivalling Final Fantasy VIII, and the Cut-Scene Graphics were pretty slick, again rivalling Final Fantasy VIII and IX.

Despite how much I was blown away by these revelations, the Voice Acting was decent...but left a lot to be desired, more prominently being certain points where the Vocals seemed to echoe (much like in Baten Kaitos, if you left the Vocal Sound on Surround...hopefully doing the same thing will fix it in Destrega). Also the Acting reminded me of how those old Chinese movies were dubbed...LoL.

It's still a good game, and I enjoy playing it for the battle system which was different and refreshing, as opposed to generic Beat'em Up's. Here, you can run around an arena and use magic from a distance, or as a follow-up to a close-range physical attack. Me likey.
