It seems weird to me that people are complaining about how the combat is "shallow." Where as turn-based is all about using your most powerful attack. That's all. These complaints come from people who enjoy their turn-based menu-browsing crap. The hack n slash is quite good even comparing to other hack n slashers. The attacks are smooth and the enemies all die with style. Love how the corpses can be hit additionally just for fun. Plus the enemies don't just attack the same, all enemies attack differently so game play changes through out the game. Plus with all the different weapons and special skills, it's fun to just play around with them. Unlike other rpgs time spent killing monsters is in the seconds and not minutes. I kill 1000 monsters in this game in the time it takes to kill one in other rpgs.
