I borrowed it out from work, and my initial impression of it was mediocre. However, the more I play it, the more I come to appreciate it. The load times are non-existent. Seriously, it makes me wonder what the hell other developers are doing with the system.
Graphically, the game looks almost as good as Tales of the Abyss, which is really, really impressive. In fact, in a lot of a ways the game reminds me of Tales of the Abyss, save for the battle system. And yeah, the battle system is pretty easy, but not without it's fun and charm. Killing an opponent will sometimes yield you an "Extra Attack" and you'll get to strike the next opponent. There are Unity attacks with are self-explanatory; the only one I've unlocked is "Partners in Crime" where two characters charge the enemy, one steals from it and the other does a standard attack. On the whole, it feels like...an inventory/selling system like Maple Story, graphically similar to Tales of the Abyss, and a battle system only slightly more involved that Dragon Quest VIII, and none of those are bad things. I'll be playing it a bit more to determine whether or not I should buy it. Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm thinking of trading in my copy of Brave Story in favor of Dragoneer's Aria, but I haven't completely decided yet. Hindman, have you gotten any playtime with Aria yet? I checked it out from work for a couple days and I enjoy it, but I'm tryin to get a second opinion. Both games are good, but neither is particularly stellar, save for Brave Story's amazingly non-existent load times.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
