An "ok" JRPS experience. To get through the game quickly, I had to play while glued to a guide, especially for the dungeons, which I didn't prefer. Still took about 20 hours.
The battles are a tad uninteresting, which is 90% of the game. The difficulty curve did spike towards the end, which helped with the strategy aspect, but by then I just wanted to finish.
I kind of wish I took the advice of others and played the original instead. The anime-style cutscene images drew me in, but what I didn't realize is that these are few and far between. I'd be surprised if there were 15 total in the game. Most of the game consists of traversing the strange 3D dungeons, not experiencing story scenes.
I played this hot off the heels of PSIV to get some additional background in the world and lore, but in my opinion, it just didn't measure up.
