Best RPG on the Wii, hands down.

I never really liked overly anime stuff in general, hell I don't watch anime at all. This totally does feel like an anime type game. But a good one.

It's basically an RPG, just not in turns. Real time combat, combined with turns...sounds weird. Imagine a MOBA like League of Legends or something like that if you ever played something alike. The character and the party attack automatically every 2 second or so. But you can do special attacks as well, those have a cooldown depending on the what the attack in the menu is.

Position is key in this game. Or where you hit the enemy. Or where are you currently are. For example, a healer doesn't need to be in the center of the battle. It can be somewhat far from from it, but unless an enemy goes towards that healer you might need to protect him/her. Same goes, for example to characters specialized in long-range attacks.

The OST is godlike, pure orchesta goodness. For sure you'll find something you like here.

In short. It's a beautiful big adventure. Don't miss it if you own the Wii still. Can't say much about the Switch version since I haven't played it.

Nowadays there really isn't any reason to play the original. The switch version improves on basically everything by addings lots of QoL features.
I also prefer the artstyle of the Definitive Edition, even though some people prefer the Wii aesthetics because it feels less "anime"
