This game's plot is not good. You have several characters who die and then come back. You have so many fights that are pre programmed for you to lose. You have one character who is doing evil things because he is actually the brainwashed puppet of another character who is, in turn, the brainwashed puppet of a third character who is only revealed in the last act. Nothing has any impact, nothing is grounded, it all gets tiresome. Your party is gaining and losing members CONSTANTLY and a ton of equipment gets lost in the process. There's all the usual JRPG pitfalls and none of the stuff that would make up for it.
