This game sits at a weird place for me, I can't tell if I like the gameplay and combat or not. The story is weird and confusing to follow at first, but it's incredibly interesting and you're always grounded by the simplicity of just trying to save Elena. It's a very clunky game, but it's the kind of clunk that you don't really mind and expect from a game like this. I really enjoyed actually seeing things change within the house when you give Elena gifts, and this game can be the most heartbreaking thing in the world if you let it. I remember I gave Elena a bracelet and she wore it all the time, but I accidently let her transform too much and when I came back to her, she was crying because the bracelet broke and she wouldn't stop apologizing and I started crying a little because it was horrifying. I felt so attached to Elena, because you actually get to spend time with her and talk to her and that's what affects the ending. The endings were really interesting, with the bad ones being the saddest thing ever and the good ones being the happiest thing ever, and I like that, it really shows what could change. I really liked most of the bosses and the music is incredible, I like the idea of using a chain in combat but sometimes it's very tedious. This really is a gem of old JRPG and one I'll remember.
