Dragoneer's Aria review at GameAlmighty.

"The PSP is suddenly enjoying its new status as a great RPG platform, thanks to solid games like Radiant Mythology, Riviera and the awesome Brave Story - all solid titles that show the PSP has what it takes to deliver a great experience. If only more publishers would concentrate on original content instead of ports. Hoping to enter the fray and keep the roll going is the latest RPG from developers Hitmaker and publisher NIS America, Dragoneer's Aria.

What a surprise, another androgynous male character taking the lead in a Japanese RPG. While localization usually focuses solely on translating Japanese text and speech, I can only hope that some company starts localizing the sexuality of characters in the near future. While the main character may be decidedly femme, what with that flowing white gown and 5-feet of braided hair, the localization on order here is surprisingly top-notch, which is always a refreshing change of pace. Not only is the voice-acting solid but the producers have successfully used a wide-variety of accents that add texture to the world. This isn't to say that the actual plotting and writing is up to snuff. It isn't, and will undoubtedly induce several cringe moments, but at least competent acting raises the experience ever-so-slightly."
