You may have to use a walkthrough 1 or 3 times in the game to know where to go or what to do for the main story, but other than that it's not an incredibly cryptic game like the older ones in the series. It's not as long of a game as people say it is, as I beat it with almost 70 hours into it, when others say it's a 100+ hour experience. Solid gameplay as usual, the class system is nice, but requires a ton of grinding out battles to level them up. Game is very easily broken balance wise. You do not need to get the most advanced classes to beat the game, for if you get them the last battles will have you yawning. I really like how with the inclusion of this 3DS version there are no more auto battles and so you choose if you want to battle or not. If you are in a dungeon most of the time you will have to fight the enemies on screen as hallways are too small to avoid them. It's very easy to grind battles with metal slimes if you keep moving the screen around, forcing the game to load new enemies.
