Review: Solid JRPG With Fun, Innovative Combat and Rewarding Exploration Elements - Full disclosure, I'd give this game 4.5 or 4.75 stars if I could as it's not 100%. That said, it's still a top contender in the action RPG space even four years after its initial release. There's a lot to this game, so I'd recommend checking out the video reviews (Noisy Pixel is typically one of the shortest and most concise). Greatest strengths: Combat is an impossibly good blend of intuitive yet innovative; killing monsters never gets boring. Exploration is also just plain fun and rewarding; it never feels like a waste of time. Even if the materials aren't what one needs, simply collecting them often allows for them to be traded up or down for materials one DOES need to improve one's situation. It manages to make things many games turn into tedious jobs into just plain stupid fun. Weaknesses: While there are amazing innovations, there are also some old-school JRPG drawbacks. Some of the area gating choices feel a bit forced. The chapter end cutscenes can run long, which of course cuts into one's actual playing time. It's also possible to miss and automatically fail side quests if main quest checkpoints are triggered too early, but that didn't bother me so much as give me an excuse to play it through again later. Value Added Bonus: Many of the extra costumes and cosmetic items are now available as free downloads in game, and those can be a lot of fun. Also, while the English voice dubs are better than average, there are menu options which allow one to hear the original Japanese, which is even more fun if it's a language one wants to study.
