Really good and unique take on JRPG combat. Exploring a modern version of pre-rendered backgrounds is fun. And it ends up feeling just like a PS1 game but developed by people with decades of experience. Final Fantasy fans who only played FF7 will love it, but if you've actually played the other FF games don't get your expectations too high. It's very polished but nothing revolutionary.

The story on the other hand.... it's very anime. A lot of the insufferable parts are only caused by the little sister type princess character who has a crush on the protagonist, so half of her dialogue is about how "she doesn't like him or anything, baaakaa!"
There have been two bits about her underwear so far, and two bits about a speculative "theft" of her virginity. It's really obnoxious and doesn't at all reach the point of so bad it's funny, it's just bad.
Other than that the story has all the JRPG stuff like amnesia, powers they don't understand, a villain with unclear motivations, etc. It's generic.

So yea!!!!!!!! It's a very polished game made by experienced developers, it has a cool artstyle, and the combat is actually something new and fresh. The story is nothing new for a JRPG though, it has all the anime stuff and some plot devices are just nabbed from Final Fantasy.
