[Altaru]

I just today got my pre-ordered EP (it was supposed to come out yesterday, but the store didn't recieve them until noon today), with the Librum Vespara artbook that came with a pre-order, and I must say, I love this game almost as much as I love Persona.

They're both from Atlus, my favorite developer without a doubt anymore.

The graphics are beautiful for a PS2 game, the storyline is detailed and elaborate, and while the combat system is not without flaws, I still find it a fun challenge.

The artbook is INCREDIBLE, having hand-drawn art from the original artists, all of which is really well done, and most of which has little commentaries from the artists explaining how they concieved the idea for the characters they developed.

As of right now, though my opinion is both biased and incomplete since I haven't played as much of the game as I want to, I'd have to rate this about a 4.75 out of 5. The only thing I don't like is the combat system, though that could only be me (I'm not a huge fan of the turn-based tile movement system anyway, but I can get over that).

So... Who else is playing this awesome game right now? I'm getting off the computer now so I can go play it some more, lol.


P.S. Less than a month left now for Persona 4! I CAN'T WAIT!
