Great SRPG that's really newbie friendly to anyone new to the subgenre. Which i never expected at all so it was a pleasant surprise. Aside from its newbie-friendly nature, the gameplay also provide a great deal of options on how to tackle its encounters which is nice, though it doesn't really resonate with me personally. I guess, it has to do with the combat design not really having or perhaps communicating any clear direction on how to really excel at its gameplay. That would be why the gameplay bugs me. But what is there is fun enough to keep me going through the game so it's decent enough ye. The story is also solid with decent execution on its environmental themes and all that. Solid OST too if a bit underwhelming, considering how big a fan i am of the composers (Masahiro Andoh and Hirotaka Izumi of T-Square fame). Overall, it's a great game that hits all the major metric i look for in a JRPG/SRPG nicely, i just wasn't particularly hooked on it for some reason
