Art work is fantastic as usual. (I'm working on a new avatar because it's just that cool)

I love the characters I've met thus far. Jeanne is especially amusing.

The world map is a little confusing the first time you reach it. Or I'm just an idiot. Either one's possible.

Tell us more about what's confusing and we may find the answer to this question. +::biggrin

I figured it out. after a little wandering. The problem to me was that I got there and had no idea what direction the cave was in.

Also, the music is great. Definitely a step away from the more traditional soundtrack style for RPGs. But it really suits the game.

I wanted to make a WHOLE game "definitely a step away" from the more traditional stuff. +::O_o +::Thumbup
Hence the artworks, music etc.

I love it. It definitely had a semi tropical Asian sort of feel as far as the music and art.

The story still has the classic "Save the world" vibe, but with an unusual spin.

Overall, a refreshing experience so far.

As alway Indy has produced an amazingly addictive game, the artwork is fantastic and storyline interesting enough to make you want to continue

I like the unusual feature of calling Jeanne to help, it like a forbidden guilty secret only Marine knows. Alos interesting that some of Marines skills can only be used a certain amount between rests, makes for a more strategic uses of her skills base.

I love the talk feature that reminds you what you are supposed to be aiming for and I cannot wait to see the story unfold.

I only have the usual gripe....gold & items....it seems that as always trying to amass either is more like grinding than playing, and yes I did find all the purses of gold and I've searched all the chests but when you are levelling up you tend to use a lot to start with.

One thing I have notice though is the strike/hit amount is variable eg Marine hit 150 one hit next she only hit 25, similar thing with Benoit, is this a feature we have to expect.

Make sure to sell the monsters' drops, too :)
For example Dragonflies drop their wings.

Hmmm on the same monster, no. Variance is not as big.
