There's a lot of cool stuff here. The story and characters hooked me, the setting was unique, and I liked the combat mechanics. But the game drags on a bit - not uncommon for JRPGs but still disappointing. Without spoiling the plot I will say that the story gets convoluted, at least for me. I wish this game had been a little bit shorter. I might play the remake at some point to see if I feel the same way.
