This game is wonderful! It's one of the most original and innovative titles released in a long time. I don't understand why everyone is saying the game is "too difficult"...what's the point if there isin't any challenge? Konami is at the forefront of iconoclastic video games and they're doing an amazing job! Yes, the game is repetitive in the fact that the same week repeats, but each week there is a new objective. Some characters can only be recruited after the 3rd or 4th loops (and they're worth the wait!). If you want an easy game, something with SquareSoft-like graphics, and/or a storyline that fits into a neat conformist box, this game isin't for you. However, if you're ready for a challenge, anime-style graphics, and an imaginitive plot, buy this now!
Oy...

OK. People, you should seriously save your money and not buy this game--if you want to rent it go ahead, I'm glad I did, because if I had bought it I would have made a BIG mistake. Ugh...to start, the controls are REALLY hard to use, and once you get used to them (if you ever) they make your hand start to hurt. And when you go out of town, every 10 seconds stupid and annoying monsters show up that you can kill in a snap. And the graphics are HORRIBLE!! Waaaaah, the graphics of PS1 are just as good, if not better...and the storyline is rather unorigial...the minigames don't even make sense, there's never anything to do, you always get lost and it takes forever to get around, and...must I go on? So basically, don't buy this game. It's a waste of you money and your time.
HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS THE WORST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED. You (mouse) is stuck in a constant time loop. Most of the game is running around though the town. Almost 0 progress is made after the beginning. Everytime I try to play this is feel my blood pressure going up because THERE IS NOTHING TO DO! Think a huge castle might be fun to explore? wrong! there are annoying monsters readly to ambush about every 15 seconds. That's another thing. This game relies on time. The graphics are horrible. I think my gameboy had better graphics.. seriously. The one major plus of this game is the music. It has one of the best scores i've ever heard on a game. Up there with the final fantasys'. Rent this before you buy it if you have any intrest at all. If you don't like it, try FFX... that's a good game.

The game has a good theme, however the graphics should be better for a PS2 game. Final Fantasy 8 and 9 have better graphics.
What happened here?!

This game has some very inovative concepts but they are not developed very well, for example, there is a mini-game where one has to hit certain buttons at certain times so that the character will play the right notes. When you hit a note perfectly the word great is displayed on the screen, but it is diplayed right over the notes that you have to play next. It is very irritating. Also, the story can become boring, the same five days just keep repeating and you have to solve it. The only problem is that every time the days start over, you lose all of your built up items and your money. Again this is very annoying. I say that if you really need an RPG right now, then this is pretty much your only choice but if you can wait a little longer I would go with Final Fantasy X.
