this game is so charming. the right attitude, fun but very easy the more you level up, and a terrific art style. It's kinda baffling that the store thumbnail looks like fan art, though.

i love the obtuse point and click adventure influence too. short and sweet. played it twice in 2 years and got sucked in both times.

Ya I didn't want to believe the hype, but this is the best RPG I've played since Chrono Trigger. It's really in a league of its own. The combat and builds are really fun and satisfying once you get a feel for the mechanics and the different areas of focus you can push your characters. You can really carve out a unique party. It's very dense at first, but feels amazing over time.

Add to the fact that the story is really excellent. Well-executed heavy metaphors, tragedy, sharp presentation, great voice acting, incredible music, the works. There was really no stone left unturned here. It's one of the greatest games ever.
