Fun game. Basic RPG. About the right length for what it is (took me about 30 hrs). But it gets downgraded due to:
Very low difficulty level.
Djinni rendering Psynergy (Magic) virtually useless outside of a couple boss battles. The only magic I ever really used was for healing.
There might be a lot of neat stuff that you get for mixing and matching Djinni, but there is never an instance where you feel the need to experiment. The only times I mixed Djinni types was to get the Grow spell needed to solve puzzles.
Yet another RPG where the only consumable items I used were a few Antidotes before learning the spell.
Splitting the game into two games so you don't get a true ending. Now I have to find the sequel to truly finish the game.
