Can't say I've ever played an SRPG quite like this one. If you love unique mechanics and punishing gameplay, then this will definitely be up your alley. Keeping a guide handy is EXTREMELY recommended. On top of being very beginner unfriendly, there are hidden items out the wazoo and missing them only makes the going rougher. Fantastic once you get the hang of it though and you'll always be on your toes while playing it.
