Yeah you have to get out of that castle then the brawling starts. Its a pretty cool game, but it does get a little boring if you don't know any japanese since there's a lot of talking. There's a walkthrough up though at gamefaqs that covers 4 of the 5 quests (I believe, all but the last really short one). I liked the battle system, it turns into a simple Street Fighter style thing when you encounter an enemy but you can still use items and armor and stuff, the animation is phenomenal though so every new enemy type or boss you encounter is a "holy shit" moment.
