i picked this game up new for $20 the other day and i must say that it's great. i really liked what i saw when i watched my friends play it on dreamcast, and i'm glad to finally be taking the helm as i play through it on my gamecube.
so far i have not found the random battles to be an issue at all, except in the south ocean where the winds slow you down to a crawl...there they can get excessive after a while, especially since i don't know where to go. the graphics are also pretty bad...i don't remember the characters in the dreamcast version being huge blurry pixelfests...but i assume they were because they sure are now...with the exception of the updated main characters who look like they're from a completely different game...it's rather funny. they're the only people in the game with high-res textures and fingers.
anyway, anyone with $20 lying around who, like me, waited forever to get this game, should go pick it up right now. or, whenever you can.
