  I started playing this game a good while ago, it has a lot of story to tell you and a lot of combat, which is both interesting and rewarding as your characters increases their level. The biggest problem is though that the game does get repetetive and you actually wish that there where more possibilities in the combat part of the game. But as a game you can play , take a break and come back to its definitely worth it.

  Overall, I recommend this game to any one who enjoys Turn-Based RPGs (It solidly earns its current $30 price tag), if you're only a marginal fan of Turn-based RPGs or are looking for a "first foray into the genre" - I would wait for it to go on sale ($20-ish). Pros: - Goregeous Aesthetics - Intuitive Controls - Unique Characters (each character feels distinct and alive, something a lot of turn-based RPGs lately lack - even the NPCs have a decent personality, albeit flatter than the characters) - A solid balance of Core content and Side Content (side missions, collections, crafting, etc.) - Good RNG design (RNG plays its role, but never in a manner that feels "unfair" or where you're relying solely on it to do something - you'll never win/lose because of RNG ) - Good Voice Acting - Decent amount of non-voice acted "side exposition" through staying at the inn and exploring "side-quest" areas. Cons: - Combat is a little simple (there's a number of buffs/debuffs, but they generally aren't a means to an end, more just a "nice added effect" to another ability) - the only buffs/debuffs that are really important are taunt/defend, and to a lesser extent burn/bleed/poison (the rest are "nice, but not necessary" such as chill, stun, sunder, etc.) - Some aspects of the game could use better explanations [they are adding to the in-game manual for this] - there is a DX9 "safe mode" - though I would recommend using a card that supports later DX versions (DX9 version still has some "blurry cam" issues in a limited number of areas) Neutrals: - Has some limited replay value in discovering secrets, leveling, NG+, and repeatable semi-random dungeons. - Semi-linear (not a real problem, just worth noting, there isn't much in the way of possible sequence breaking) Episode 1 of my blind playthrough so you can get a feel of the gameplay (full playlist on channel if you want to see all the characters):
