Hi
I bought this game some time ago (2013) and it somehow slipped through several changes of computer without me noticing I hadn't played it
I have now just finished the game, and it was wonderful - I agree with all the kudos to the developers for the story, characters, graphics, music, game play, and everything that somehow goes together to make such an enjoyable and addictive experience. Released in 2010 I think it holds up well - although the latest Microsoft update nearly rained on my parade as the game wouldn't open. So I've uninstalled the update until I finished!!
It took me about 39 hours, leveling up everyone to Level 86. I failed on my first attempt at the arena Champion but she was very kind and let me crawl away...and then I didn't go back...maybe tomorrow...

I also did not manage to get the King of Hearts for the complete deck. Those timed challenges always make me anxious and I don't do so well at that point. I would have loved a Joker card that could have substituted for just one missed card
Thank you to all the other players who shared their experiences in the Forum, and to Lady JJ as always for putting me onto a walk-through guide when I got completely lost in one of the dungeons (Ruins of Talaria with Tinny - I was getting into battles so frequently that I was getting lost where I was up to).
BTW, Skyborn was my very first introduction to more modern adventure rpg games and I LOVED it!
So, thank you, and I would highly recommend this game (as long as Microsoft updates don't ruin it).
