Fun game.

Short, for a JRPG. Steam says I have 22 hours played and I did all the side quests and had all the characters' equipment maxed out by the end.

I very much enjoyed playing this game. It was exactly what I was looking for. That is a cliche hero story.

Personally, I really enjoyed going through this story.

However, it is incredibly long winded and overly indulgent with it's own writing. That has a charm but it's definitely not for everyone.

If you don't like constantly being told why something is happening and how everyone feels about it I doubt you'll get through this.

If, on the other hand, you can enjoy indulging in constantly being aware of exactly what is happening and exactly why (a truly 3rd person omniscience at times) you should enjoy this quite a bit.
