It’s a fresh-feeling, low stakes take on the JRPG genre, moreEarthboundthanFinal Fantasy.Though, as Chad put it in his review, it’s “RPG Lite,” accessible for all ages. Double Fine doesn’t want to sacrifice that, but does want to makeCostume Quest 2‘s combat a bit more engaging. I was engaged withPaper Mario(orFinal Fantasy VIII) style timed button presses that help your attacks do a bit more damage....
