One of the best stories in any RGG game by far, with some of the best character writing to date. Yagami is a really strong protagonist and imo one of if not the best in any RGG game. I wasn't that big a fan of the combat, but it's miles better than 6. Still has a big of jank that comes along with the Dragon Engine but it can still be very fun a lot, especially with the later long battles and bossfights. Massive step up from y6 and k2.
