Incredible story, incredible characters, incredible music. Unparalelled action-turn-based combat (ATB doesn't even hold a candle) and a 40-hour, largely linear runtime that somehow doesn't drag or overstay its welcome. Genuinely one of the best games I've ever played full-stop and a real treat considering my virtually nonexistent expectations going in. I'll be thinking about Justin and friends for a long time to come.

My only knocks are that removing the pixel filter requires delving into the game files and that the port itself is based of the rickety PS1 port rather than the much more polished Saturn original.

Definite must-play otherwise; buzzing to start Grandia II.
