Phenomenal story and presentation! I think it does a good job at telling a tale of war and not necessarily glorifying it - even the kinda slow-paced battles do a good job at doing that, as it's not easy to become some sort of death god.

Of course, the slow-paced battles can also be a strike against it. During the main game, most battles can be decisively ended by defeating the enemy leader, but as you dive into the post-game that suddenly becomes not an option for 95% of the battles and you have to slowly take down every enemy on the field one by one. Combined this with units in general being bulky and enemies typically if not always outleveling you and engaging with the post-game content is... a chore. That's not a huge deal, at least, and I think it works well enough in the main game for it to still be enjoyable.

The game has been overhauled considerably from the PSP version, and while there are numerable changes for the better - such as removing the quite awful class level system - some mechanics from the PSP version I do kind of miss, such as the more in-depth skill system and more varied magic schools. This is almost certainly just due to personal preference, mind you, and I can see why most of them were changed.

Overall, I'd say it's a very good experience and a wonderful game. Just... don't engage with the optional content. Your sanity will thank you for it.
