In a world of floating islands in the sky, where the ocean is a legend and the earth is blocked off by toxic clouds, a young warrior named Kalas bonds with a Guardian Spirit (the player) to seek revenge for his brother and grandfather, killed by the evil empire.

I usually try to keep my reviews spoiler-light, but to really talk about this game requires spoiling a lot of the major twists. If you’re planning to play it, you might prefer to remain unspoiled.

This game is a mix of things that work and things that fail, but rounds out on the positive side. Spoilers ahoy! )

Overall: It’s a fun game. It has some glaring flaws, but it also has some really clever ideas. (The same developer made Xenosaga, and that’s totally believable.) It was worth being on my list to buy a Gamecube for, and I’ll happily play the sequel when I get that far.
