I'm on Chapter 2 so far, but so far this game is exactly what I wanted it to be. Its a solid JRPG with an interesting story, memorable characters, and fairly customizable ability system. The combat is turned based, which is what I was looking for, and there is enough variety in the abilities and the enemies that I haven't grown bored with it yet.

So far I haven't really had to grind, but I don't avoid many enemies and do all of the side quests so that may just be me. The game feels very open to me moving forward at my own pace, I don't feel rushed nor do I feel punished if I try to push ahead too soon.

When it comes to the graphics, they wont exactly blow your mind but they are fun and have some personality to them. They have a very nostalgic feel and really take me back to some of my favorite games from the PS2 era.

All in all, while I wouldn't exactly call it groundbreaking, I would say this is a very solid JRPG and fans of the genre should probably give it a try.
