Hi Anima,
I have just finished the game - took me about 7 hours and levelled all characters up to Level 21. The story was interesting and pulled me along. I have to say the first REAL boss - the Violet Clothed thief - was the hardest fight I've ever encountered early in a game. I can see why people had trouble with him!

He had far too many multiple damaging hits and the team had very limited healing and damaging skills at that point. In addition, he seemed to have a high HP so took ages to take down. I must say I felt a warm glow of achievement and satisfaction when I finally managed to defeat him after 2-3 tries

I found I needed many more healing items to help out too
The game played smoothly with no major problems. I was surprised by the ending in a number of ways - first the final boss went down far too easy...basically wiped it out in about 1.5 rounds with minimal damage inflicted

After my experience with the Violet Clothed Leader it was a bit of a shock
The other thing about the ending...and please don't look if you haven't finished the game as this really is a spoiler
The story had focussed on the reading of ancient text and a cure for the Plague, and in the end this was not really the point although it had driven the heroine and the others through the game. I think that is what felt a bit of a let down I suppose - there wasn't the "magic cure" - just a bit of "tough love"

Although may be a fair call considering our recent and ongoing RL experience

And finally explains the meaning behind the game title!
Overall, I did enjoy the game and would recommend to interested players.
