This is a challenging game to assign a "rating" to. It's clear that this game has depth beyond anything I could experience in a reasonable amount of time, and it's clear that there is much to enjoy here, however the game lacks modern tweaks that would make this a more enjoyable experience. The biggest problem is that the game does not respect the player's time--even with massive EXP boosts and Trust NPCs, it can take hours to accomplish even simple tasks. Small mistakes can cost time, and it's impossible to play this game without a guide. I'm glad to have experienced this game, but I don't think I could recommend it to others. This is the time it took me to clear all of the Bastok missions, which was my starting nation.
