This game is great. It's a vast improvment over the previous one. It's graphics are much smoother, movment more natural and weapons only apper when you need them. The combat system is much better as well. I love the fact that skills and spells are gained and learned rather then be determined by equipment. The story is compelling and the main charcter is cool to play. His looks get better plus he's just cool to play. He's not the nice timid weakling Kite was he's a battle hardned player. The Avatar battles are beatuifullly rendered as are the cutscenes which you just have to watch time and time again. I give it a 9.5 as it leaves you wanting more and more. I can't for wait vol2.

did you beat the original /hack part 4? It said that you could use saved data from the previous series, thats why i had to ask.

I played the 4th volume. Didn't beat it though. But it still converted the data.
