A refreshing and imaginative action RPG set on the islands and foliage of a far away land making for unusual situations and adversaries. Being tossed overboard whilst your darling is zipping away kidnapped on a boat is not the best foot to get off on.
A perfect way to crack into the 1006 essential kanji used in Japanese elementary schools and as such get a real footing in the Japanese language. Regardless of not needing to write, kanji provide the building blocks of the language as they can be pieced together for different meanings; but an understanding of the stand alone meaning can help no end. As endorsed by those dedicated RPG players at Genki.
