While I wouldn't go as far as to say it's a masterpiece, it's pretty damn good and its ambition shines through in every step of the way - it has a fun and involved combat system, a lovable cast of characters, a strong soundtrack and an extremely memorable world. The story is honestly the weakest part for me, but only because I saw glimmers of untapped potential in its themes - the narrative progression itself is very satisfying, the cutscenes are well-animated and thrilling, the presentation is strong and it has probably one of the coolest takes on the average escalating "attack and dethrone god" kind of JRPG story.
