It's hard to recommend this game. On the surface, it's nice, beutiful. It systems however leave a bit to be desired; particularly, combat isn't the best. Fights aren't too fun, and everything new that's added to it gets old quickly due to relentless repetition. There is basically no difference between mobs. The most basic of trashmobs doesn't feel like it demands a different playstyle from the actual final boss of the game. There are tiny hints of strategy with each character's specia move, that don't really serve a lot, and only seem to be useful for enemies specifically designed to make use of them. They create a problem and a solution at the same time.
There are charming bits here and there, mainly fun interactions between the cast of characters that make up your party; a found family so endearing that almost justifies 40 hours of an overarching story that doesn't quite hit the spot. Almost.

Seriously, now, I've come to really appreciate this group of misfits. At first, they always look like they're not gonna fit together, but they do. They are your best reason to play this.
