I defeated one of the boss in the middle of game (haunted house on chicken's foot) but it turned out I had to fight him once again!! It really infuriated me!! Anger shook me, and I decided to set the game aside for another time.

EDIT: I back to the game and finally finished it !! It's great ! It has it own downs and ups but for every jrpg fan it is mandatory

Edit: Returned to game and love it again… idk this game just got something hard to describe, something that pull you into this world of that game.

Currently playing... I occasionally go back to playing from time to time. The game is great, but in my opinion, there are too many small elements in this game... Games, mini-games, subquests, quests... etc. Additionally, the cutscenes can be incredibly long... This is a game that requires dedication and mainly, time commitment. I finished Persona 5 (over 170 hours) and it was also incredibly long and had complex mechanics, but not to this extent. The story is very engaging, and the fighting is as well, which is why I keep coming back, completing some stages, but suddenly the difficulty level increases significantly, and I have to manage experience points and money, which turns out not to be so obvious...

EDIT: Finally finished !! What a game ! What a story ! However this is not a game for everyone, just like most jRPGs. Playing these games requires a lot of time and dedication. The only thing I didn't like was the imposition of cutscenes on the player without the ability to save the game. After defeating a boss, instead of being able to save the game after a long battle or level, the player is forced to watch more cutscenes, which cannot be skipped because it's uncertain if it's the end or not. And final of the game, this was taken to the extreme. But I guess that's a characteristic of most jRPGs.
