well, i just literally finished the game and the ending really touched me.i died 3 before beating the last boss but that was because i have poor reflexes...

all in all,i give this game an 8.5 from a scale of ten

graphics:9.5
this game is just beautiful hand drawn.its environments and towns are full of color and the cut scenes are full of win but i cant give it a wholly 10 points because when the game transitions to 3-d cut scenes the frame rate suffers alot plus the 3d characters are somewhat off to me as well.
music: 10
its music is just beautiful period.both the intro and the ending are nice to the hear plus the in game music and fight music fits the game mood very well.btw,i found the little voice overs to be charming as well with the exception of beluga.his voice drove me insane at times XD
story:9.0
the story was good.but nothing groundbreaking.to those who have been watching anime for awhile will find the usual tropes that comes with the genre.plus, i found the story to be kind of preachy at times
game play:8.0
while the game play was rather easy,there were parts that for me that were frustrating such as the repetitive play and a few quests that involved racing.again, thats not the game's fault but mine since i have poor reflexes.but yeah, the pick up and throw type of gameplay was dull and boring at times but the charm of the game's character made me kept going.
localization: 10
i found the localization effort to be full of win.with xseed or namco-bandai's effort? to be flawless.no typos no bugs just a pretty professional job done by the localizing teams

overall: solatorobo is a charming rpg that while its story not being groundbreaking.it does have its charm. the gameplay can be tedious but some quests can be challenging and fun.it has a nice story and its easy on the eyes plus who can go wrong with french?
