This is a very fun game at its core; however, it's also a first attempt at something new. Encounter rates and leveling is weirdly balanced, and some fights were unfair. That's not to say the game is bad, the story and atmosphere especially are great, the music (yes the psp music) was really good, if not a bit stale and the party members all had memorable personalities. Overall, it was a fun game, it just has some flaws.
