Luminous Arc 2 is a great strategy RPG game. I’d definitely recommend it over Final Fantasy Tactics 2 for the DS. Strong female presence leads me to believe female gamers would also be very interested in this game. There are a lot of cutscenes and the dialogue can get corny or boring at times. It comes with a bonus soundtrack CD, but I never listen to it. If you preordered this game you got Luminous Art, a special art book for the LA series with concept art, information and 60 pages of illustrations. This game might be hard to find at your local game stores as its rare. If you do find it you'll probably spend $35-45 for it. Online play keeps things interesting. Might not be well known but definitely an awesome underground gem for the DS.
