It's YMMV when price matching something that may be out of stock, so I wouldn't open the game until you get the price match next week.

FINALLY started back playing this after 2 months or so. Knocked out a couple hours in the last few days.
Getting ready to go to Argonia. My levels are Hero - 30, Yangus - 29, Jessica - 29, angelo - 29
I am about 38 hours in
Does this sound right?

I just bought this game for $19 at best buy. I think it might have become a greatest hit or maybe the price just dropped.
Oh crap you guys already know that. Oh well better late than never.

I've been replaying this lately. I'm currently 20 hours ahead of where I was last time, judging by my previous saves It sure helps knowing where you're going, what you want to do, and where to level. Great game, $19 very well spent.

Just started this game and boy is there a lot of grind. Getting to that crystal ball was a pain in my butt. Well the good news is I'm almost done I think. Some girl ran away from home to get revenge on the person that killed her brother. Once I find her and help her out I guess that's it. I was sure there was more to this game but I guess not.
One thing that could have made the game better is if they showed what stuff you were wearing instead of having the same old outfits. If I get a metal hat I want to see my guy wearing a metal hat. Also how about a save anywhere or at least let us save on the world map.
I don't want to be all negative here. The story was good but could have been fleshed out some more. The cartoon look was great. The old school rpg feel takes me back to a nicer time without mechs, flying ships and space battles. Just a good old fantasy rgp.
