I jumped into this one almost immediately after Graces F and I'm glad I did. I felt it had alot of the same charm as Graces while managing to have its own unique and fun story line with a wonderful and colorful cast of characters. The combat was noticeably more simple than in Graces F, but still really enjoyable! The only thing bogging it down for me really was, I felt the character bond trophies were a bit forced and the translation isn't always very good, but it's still a wonderful game with alot to offer!
