First impressions are very good indeed. Plays a lot like Skies of Arcadia or Grandia II although initially I think Grandia II's battle system is still the better. Battles play out in real time, you control only one character. A for standard attack and B for skill attack. You can also block incoming attacks with X.
You have the option for AI controlled battles, semi-automatic and completely manual. I have chosen semi-automatic.
The few battles I've done so far have been quite frenetic to say the least which indicates future battles may border on twitch gaming.
Graphically ToS is similar in style to SoA with cel-shaded 3d characters and landscapes. The style is not as good as FF Chronicles IMO.
Sound is good and voiceovers are better than average. I recognise Liquid Snake in there.
The storyline appears pretty standard at the moment but I'm hoping for better things later on.
Game comes on two discs. Works OK with Freeloader 1.06b on my PAL machine. Dont know if the second disc will work when required though, but I have a Q ready if it doesn't.
