Gameplay
8/10
Pretty good. The side-view thing was neat, go you. The only thing that bugs me is, something is REALLY slow.

Graphics
10/10
I, too, noticed things from ff6. Your map designs are gorgeous, though. I really like the way you pulled off the heavy atmosphere.

Sound
9/10
Very good. Some music was a bit odd for the scene, though.

Story
4/10
This is my biggest complaint. The whole, "my brother/sister/mother/father/distant relative that I thought was dead is actually the leader of an evil cult/company/organization" is old. Really old. The hate between the brothers was interesting-but why DO they hate each-other so much? Aside from the main characters, I'd really like to know exactly WHO some of these random people running around are... Also, the beginning was REALLY annoying. Sure, it was nice to get some background, but not THAT much. It irritated me even more when I had to play through it again, after choosing Dahntay's story. But, look at it this way- Bedlam14 isn't an easy story rater, AND-This is not the worst mark you could get.

Uniqueness(no such word as uniquety- o.o)
5/10
The story was rather cliched, as was the idea of two nations fighting each-other, fueled by mortal hatred. What WAS unique was the idea of a futuristic nation at war with a more traditional one. I'll give you half marks, but....

Conclusion
This game is okay. Just okay. You need to work on your story, a lot.

8 + 10 + 9 + 4 + 5 = 36/50 = 72/100 = 7.2/10
