Does anybody actually remember every single game they've played? Cause I don't.
Even if I give a game a low rating, the fact that I bothered to finish it shows that it's still worth checking out at least.

Really good strategy RPG with visual novel elements. The soundtrack is amazing, and the CGs for the art look nice as well. The gameplay is pretty standard for tactical RPGs, but it's still fun. The story is filled with references to Christianity, Greek mythology, literature, and European history. The map displayed in the game is identical in shape to a real life map as well. The party members in the game are all memorable as well. The only real issue in terms of characters for me were the villains. For a game that takes around 50-60 hours, I wanted more than just one good villain. Still, it's a really good game and one of the best PS3 JRPGs in my opinion.
Played until about midway into chapter 10, and I'm just not a fan. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing (probably my favorite 3DS soundtrack), and the background art, along with the character designs look great. However, I found the story and characters to be pretty generic and it's also quite tropey. The battles are extremely slow, but pretty fun once you get the hang of it. The game does get a lot harder starting in chapter 8 though. It's relatively easy up until that point and then all of a sudden there's a huge difficulty spike, so you'll probably have to start grinding. Overall, it isn't a bad game by any means, but it's just not something that I personally can justify putting several hours into (I already had about 40 hours in, I really should've dropped it sooner). I'd probably recommend anybody who wants to play it try out the first few chapters, and if you don't like it, just drop it before you put a lot of hours into it like me. I'll say this again though, the soundtrack is absolutely BANGIN
