I love it when an RPG's combat is just self contained combat where each battle is more like a puzzle. The battles in this one aren't difficult but that doesn't really matter they're still interesting and are baked into the plot very well. The plot is extremely emotional and with many tearjerkers to me they feel like the author just wants to make the player sad which is fine but I'm happy (or sad I guess) to say this one has an interesting plot as well that invested me into the characters and the outcomes felt like a very natural progression. Very good game.
