It is a fun game. It would be nice if you could use the keyboard in battle but I got used to using the mouse. To view an equipment set you have to select what you are comparing and the character it is appropriate for (hat, weapon, etc). I didnt have any problem loading (I don't know why people are having trouble). I thought it was funny there is a treasure in the maze you can't get to. I like how the story progresses naturally.
Maxing out strength or magic is very helpful on characters but if you don't increase their stamina reasonably the end level is pretty hard.
