I'm a few hours into this game. It looks and plays a lot like Final Fantasy 7. So if you liked that, then try this.
Combat has a nice difficulty. You will need to heal and buff regularly to win in combat. You have the option to fight 1 enemy at a time or several. Choosing several enemies will greatly increase the difficulty and the EXP reward.
There's a decent degree of character customization via the talent board.
The game has lots of crafting after you reach a certain point.
The story is okay. It's silly.
I'll enjoy this game for a while. Probably won't hold my attention long enough to beat it.
