Just finished this day a few days ago and got the plat trophy. I am a huge JRPG simp so hearing about turned based combat was awesome and I think it's great they tried to do it with a new protag(Who is also awesome btw). I thought the story was great some people complained about the twists but I thought they were fine.

Talking more about the gameplay, the turned based combat was really neat but I felt like bosses weren't as great as previous entries and I'm not sure if that is because of the turned based combat or lack of QTEs. Overall I thought the gameplay was great but they definitely need to make it so it's easier to control your movement so you can plan around stuff like AoE special abilities and interacting with the environment. Also It kinda sucks that for one of your party members Saeko literally the only good job for her is Idol, you could run Host but it's just not as useful. You do get a party member later that works well with literally every other class though but you have to invest into so much to have her be able to use those jobs.

Job system is general though cool felt very very unbalanced like I could definitely tell immediately what jobs were good with very little experimenting so maybe if they continue this route in the next Ichiban game they'll think about that a bit more.

Anyways awesome as game easily thrown in the S-tier with Judgement, and Yakuza 0 give this game a try even if you don't know smack about Yakuza.
