There’s quite a big bestiary, with tons of enemies and boss characters to learn about. In traditional RPG fashion, you’ll run around fighting monsters and exploring mysterious dungeons. With such a massive amount of content, the game spans over two whole discs, which is pretty rare nowadays. There are a huge number of towns, cities, dungeons, and landmarks to discover. It starts off big, but you’ll find out that it gets even bigger. There’s also number of bonus items you can obtain after you’ve completed your first play through. You can complete side quests, play a few mini games, do some cooking, watch all the skits, collect all the costumes, or try to master every ability there is to master. The main quest will run you anywhere from 50-60 hours, but there’s loads of extra content to fool around with. These look good and are usually pretty interesting, but there’s not many of them and there aren’t any until towards the halfway point of the game. Every now and then you’ll get to watch an anime style cut-scene. They’re triggered by pressing the Z button when you see the title of the skit appear in the corner of the screen, and are usually just a few lines of dialogue between characters to show their emotions and to clear up some iffy parts of the story. There are also a number of text only skits in the game. The voice acting is top notch, although there’s a few instances where some lines will come off as cheesy and cliché, but it’s not that big of a problem. They all have traits that help to make them believable. The characters all have great personalities and emotions, and you’ll most likely connect with them on a good level. This really helps bring the world to life and make it a tad more realistic, in an emotional sense. For example, Genis and Rain are half-elves, and in Sylvarant elves and half-elves are treated with much disrespect. Some situations touch on serious themes, such as exile and racism. The writing is expertly done and supports the story strongly. The story keeps a good pace throughout the 50-hour quest, and you’ll rarely get bored because there isn’t much grinding involved. The main plot of the game may come off as somewhat mundane at first, but within a few hours it really picks up with countless numbers of twists that’ll keep you on your toes. You’ll also be joined by a number of other characters throughout the game that will join your party and all have their own unique back-story and fighting style. After a while, a mysterious mercenary named Kratos Aurion, who may just be too badass for his own good, accompanies you and guides you in your journey. Joining you on your adventure at first is your friend Genis Sage, and his older sister Raine. Can she save the world from chaos, or will all of its citizens witness it crumble before their eyes? You play as Lloyd Irving, an orphan who is a friend of Colette and lives in the same town as her. This generation’s Chosen is a young girl named Colette Brunel. The only one who can restore the land back to its splendor is the Chosen One, who must embark on The Journey of World Regeneration. Its mana supply is running low, and the goddess Martel is in a deep slumber.
