@Desocietas:
Though that game got many mixed-reviews (Radiata Stories, that is) I had a lot of fun w/ it.
Have you already played it?
Also, that guide will come in *VERY* helpful (*Especially* for recruitment aspects of the game:)
Now that I think about it...what/if any other RPG's have ever done this before?
(- meaning, having a branching/"choice"/"Point-of no return" about 1/2 way through the game, and then, depending upon your choice here, you will get 2 *Completely* *Different* story-lines...*NOT* just an extra/different boss or an additional area, or two...but completely different stories, endings, bosses, recruit-able characters & NPC's, Post-game content, etc...
Basically, you pick to play on the side of the monsters or the humans, and from there...*EVERYTHING* is different?!
