Final Fantasy XXX
Words Worth is actually rather entertaining for reasons other
than the sex. The story centers around the young prince of
the Shadow tribe, Astral, as the war between the tribes of
Light and Shadow eventually sends him hurtling across the
lands and driving himself between various women's legs. The
fantasy world is well realized, with a huge variety of different
races (pig people!?), and very well designed environments
for both Light and Shadow realms. The one thing that bothered
me is that the underlying story, the things that happen AROUND
Astral, is overshadowed by the series' sex scenes, especially
disappointing with only 5 half-hour episodes. I would have
loved to see a longer, less rushed version of Words Worth
because the story is excellent stuff. The sex is rather standard
stuff, with a moderate level of detail, nothing as explicit
as Shusaku Replay,
though hardly soft core. Obviously, it helps to have good
design, and Words Worth has it. Though not as beautiful as
Inmu or Shusaku
in terms of design, the characters are a pleasure to look
at, with a decent amount of detail. Nina looks especially
cute. As for vocals, the Japanese track is awesome, but the
English track is a bit bland. It seems as though everyone
BUT Jenna is trying, but the talent simply isn't there. Voices
aren't deadpan, but the lines come off so poorly one almost
wishes they were. The sound effects otherwise are fairly standard,
though this one earns special credit for believable sword
collision noises.
In closing, I'd say Words Worth is worth it for a good $50
for the box on Amazon. I don't regret buying it - I only wish
there was more.
