Playable Ghibli? Sign me up! It's gorgeous, the soundtrack by Joe Hisaishi gives the game just the right vibe, and the story and character designs are just right for the type of game it is. The only thing I didn't really like about it is that the monster collection is a little too reliant on RNG. But it's really not that bad, and upgrading your mons to create the perfect team is addicting. I also like how, much like SMT, your characters actually takes part in battle, they don't just hide behind their monsters. They're squishier, sure, but they can cast spells and use abilities too, and it gives the battle system a lot more depth. Fantastic game. If it looks at all interesting to you, you probably will enjoy it.
