good game

Finally got around to playing this. Wish I had played much earlier. Engaging combat, exploration, fun game to grind. Engaging with townspeople is a blast.

My play through is like 20 hours in and I'm still less than half way through the game just fighting and exploring.

This is the game that made me the man I am today. Nishiki's music singlehandedly change the direction of my profession and interests. Fantastic JRPG with a turn-based gimmick that makes a potentially stale combat style very fresh and interesting. No longer the old "buff and do damage" but you have to consider action economy and also random synergies that may just break the game in half, which are synergies basically required to survive several later encounters. An RPG masterpiece only bested by it's sequel.
