The game itself is awesome, the fact that it's portable is great and it plays really smoothly. The only problem I have is that I'm about 7 hours in now and I already managed to miss 2 of the sidequests (like with pretty much every other Tales game). So now I either have to remember everything or play while reading a guide, which isn't nearly as much fun (I really want some of those things on my first playtrough).
There's not really too much point in getting EVERY sidequest on your first playthrough anyway, since you'll essentially HAVE to do a newgame+ at least once in order to get EVERYTHING. And Side-quests reset when you do a new game+.
