I loved this game a lot, and wrote down a whole lot of different codes for various combinations of things. I went through the game just far enough to get all kinds of cool stuff, but didn’t go through to start fighting bosses and whatnot. I wrote all this down on pieces of paper, then gave away the entire lot of stuff.

If I had only kept the codes then I could just buy back another set of stuff, or use emulators or the like. Maybe when I get a Nintendo DS again I’ll be able to buy this game again (see atlus.com) and I’ll just play it over and over to get some good codes again.

Used, and shows it. The disk is ugly but it plays fine.

Simple graphics, decent gameplay, very long, very good.

As good as it is, this game is pathetic compared to Tactics Ogre – (1998 game) on the Game Boy Advance SP because of some significant flaws in gameplay. It gets better though.. and it’s MUCH MUCH MUCH longer. Holy crap it’s a long game.
