i am 11 hours in and my opinions havent changed much.
its a traditional turn-based,story-drivin japanese rpg. nothing special to most but to for me,thats EXACTLY my kind of rpg. with final fantasy going real-time and action rpg's gettin more and more popular,its actually refreshing to play a rpg that sticks to the old school formula.
its good looking.has just enough depth to not overwelm you with micro-management (really like the rings and the skill/spell system).the boss fights feel like boss fights cause they are hard as fuck,actually have to use strategy and not just barrage him with your overpowered sword chars. the side quests are there,the awesome cgi movies are there.
has everything i personally like from a rpg. but like with most jrpgs that get imported here,people either love them or hate them. thats why i never trust reviews,gotta play it for yourself
