As clear as a crystal.

This,didn't look like any Final Fantasy I ever played. I was pretty reluctant to play it, because it didn't seem attracting by looking at the cover, but I tried it anyway. The game is about misiama infecting the lands,every place excpet towns,which are protected by giant crystals,but it needs a certian type of holy water to keep protecting the town. So the town gathers certain people(there are 4 races:Selkie,Clavat,Lilties,and Yukes) so the chosen characters are sent out to fill a special container with the certain holy water.If it fills up,a year passes. Years play a role in the game, as the map screen has certain levels known as "misiama streams". These are streams where you can walk through but in one condition: the special container must have the right element. That's right,if there's a stream requiring fire,and you go in with wind,the winds will push you out the stream. Now let's talk about the normal gameplay. You play as the certain character you chose(4 players can play,but all 4 players must have a GBA. Can't tell you how that works;I don't have a GBA.), and depending on your race,you have a certain weapon, like Lilties have lances,and Clavats have a Sword and Shield. So about the gameplay, you run around, looking for the tree in the certain level you're playing in that gives you some of that holy water, you fight monsters. This isn't like normal FF games; you fight in-game, as if it was Zelda or something. FF fans might not accept this, which is probably why gamers didn't want to buy this. But, hey this is an awesome game. And you have a command list, with two default commands you cannot get rid of:Attack and defend. Attack has a normal attack combo, usually up to 3 strikes, and a charge attack. Along the level, you'll find orbs called magicites. These orbs can be put in your command list so you can perform certain spells, like purple magicite orbs is the thunder magic. But unfortunately, once you beat,quit,or lose the level, you lose the orbs. This may seem dumb but luckily, they seem sort of common in the levels. The graphics are wonderful. They're so detailed. The sound's good,not perfect,but good. Control is quite awkward, especially tapping away with your A button while shifting commands with the L button. From all this, this game is a good buy. You'll be glad you gave this game a chance.
