It's an amazing game! People who discount it solely because they may think it's just a puzzle game need to rethink their opinion. Such a multi-dimensional, multi-faceted game. The puzzles are challenging, but the story and characters are super-immersive, and the art is top notch. It's hard to pull away from! I spent a lot of yesterday playing it (and then Star Ocean: The Last Hope ~International~). Can't wait to get all the endings for Catherine though, I hear there are some real twists.
I've got to say though, even though I used her in my current avatar/sig set, I kind of hate Katherine. She's gorgeous and whatnot as far as characters go, but god damn is she a b!tch with a capital 'B'. What a nag. If I acted like that, I'd pretty much deserve whatever I had coming to me, lol.
