To say that the game is, well, bland because of cliche storyline and poor quality programming is fine, but that is not what this game focuses on. These things are just a backdrop (in order to make the game an actual "game") for the real purpose... being character development. This is what makes the game so involving (and terribly addictive!) when playing. Even look in the manual and read "dedicated to those for whom one lifetime is not enough" (or something along those lines). This pretty much sums up the game. It is an entire lifetime for the characters (in comparison to other games of the genre) and that is the point. The game is NOT based on killing Cet, or the triumph over evil, it IS about getting that Zenmaster, and having all the spells, and having more skills than you will ever need! For this reason, not the story or the graphics, is the reason why we all love this game, and why you are reading this reply on this forum!
