honestly the ending kinda sucks since it just shits on the themes that the game was building up, but apart from that it's pretty good. the central cast are all very well characterized (Renne's arc in particular is a highlight of the entire series to be honest), and the music is just as good as what you'd expect from pre CS3 falcom. just turn the difficulty down to easy because the combat is needlessly tiresome and the final dungeon in particular is painful.
