When you take all of this together - likable characters, crazy but OK story, brilliant battles and a beautiful world - you get an adventure that's well worth playing. It's a traditional game that blows away expectations by simply gushing quality. Yeah, there are places where you can point to really dumb things: the story has so many twists it sprains itself, the characters aren't allowed to figure out really obvious things, and the puzzles in the dungeons only really make sense two-thirds of the time. These are just details, though. This is a game that's simply fun and likable enough to be worth the bother of seeing all the way through. How often can you say that?
