Gameplay is pretty good, theres a lot of snappy action here but.... Good lord. For a JRPG you need a interesting story and likable characters and oh boy does this drop the ball in every single way. The story is dull and boring and completely non-memorable in every single way...

But those characters... Every single character is terrible in every single way. They are crass, shouty, whiny, irritating in every single manner possible. You just dont want to hang around these lot in any way shape and form and for a long JRPG this murders any incentive to keep playing. I got about half the way through and just couldnt take it anymore.
