there's costume changes, but they're more secrets than inventory items ---- the game is great, as traditional as they get but really pollished.

the way they pulled in the seamless world makes for a lot of fun --- think of a typical world-map of any RPG, now imagine it not being just a map or out of scale --- you actually hike across the world, and it feels really good (plenty of secrets too)

the battles are well balanced, I haven't come to a point yet where i just click 'attack' through battles without having to think.

i'm only like 18 hours in ... probobly won't get too much ferther, but it's a great game for traditional rpg fans.

I like the game. Im about 50 hrs into it, taking my time and enjoying the sites. Jessica has different outfits and it shows your HERO's different equiped weapons, Other then that I dunno about different costumes, but it wouldn't suprise me.

ya i have the "school girl" looking outfit jessica wears when you first meet her, but im not about to put something on her just for looks when shes so damn weak right now.

i just got the alchemist pot, so im only like 7-8 hrs in, and damn is it pretty fun so far, going boomerang with the hero, i hear its the best, and using lance with him for boss fights
