Should I avoid this game if I don't really like light-hearted RPGs? It says Logy has serious dramatic events but many "serious" events are laughable in a lot of RPGs. Like in Trails in the Skythe orphanage burns down but you know no one is actually going to get hurt or any scene with Chlem.
What do you consider to be a "serious" RPG? The Dusk games (so far), start out pretty light hearted, but towards the end of the games they start getting more and more serious.
The plot of the series is that Alchemy has just about caused the end of the world, and the world is slowly dying.
