When you start a new file, Litta is magically trained in four different weapons: the lance, gun, sword, and (magical!) staff. You play as an overeager, annoying teenage boy named Litta from a small town who wants to 'adventure in the Continent' and is desperate to leave his hometown. If you want a more polished RPG that's not a series of endless fetch-quests, try Zenonia or Inotia 2. Seed is a mediocre RPG, and while it may be worth the space on your iPod, it's a good thing it's free. Blurry graphics, choppy animations, and a bad translation job make for a tedious and sometimes frustrating experience despite the game's good points. But price point aside, Seed is a port of a Japanese mobile game, and the transition was far from graceful. And for a free game, Seed is absolutely fantastic. If anything, it'll be Seed's price point that kills Zenonia Chillingo just slashed the games 'introductory price' of $2.99 down to free, choosing to rely solely on in-app purchases for revenue. Unfortunately, I have my doubts about that. Recently, Seed 1 - Rise of Darkness burst into the App Store, claiming to be a 'Zenonia killer.' Since then, the field has changed as developers adapt to the iPhone platform, we're seeing more and more similar games being released. Here, finally, was a 'real' RPG, based in a 2D world that brought back fond memories of Gameboy titles.

When Zenonia first came out, I was ecstatic.
