Takes the things that makes turn-based RPGs great and puts them in a single package. Even with this though, its story and character do little early on to draw you in to entice you to keep playing. The aesthetic and animation are top-notch, they give it a unique feel. The addition of a Speed and Power lane along with effects occurring at certain points in the ATB are interesting. However, it can sometimes feel that you are fighting the ATB gauge rather than the actual creatures in the encounter. They've done a really good job to make every character fit a different use, which can make it a difficult choice who to put in your party. I had quite a few crashes but nothing that sets back progress too much. Due to the limited array of locations, there isn't a lot of variety in the places you visit.
