Honestly, i really enjoy this game to the max.

Overall, it's a good throwback to classic JRPG, especially things that you played on Playstation 1 or 2. I don't get the complaint about the battle, since for me, it works just well.

Since you gotta punch a button a right timing to get the perfect attack, framerate is something that you need to make sure, your PC able to handle. Legrand itself isn't that heavy performance game, but you gotta make sure your PC can play it really well. If you suffer little lag, it might affect on your timing, and in the end, make the whole battle experience sufferable.

I need to point out that, this is not a game that you can hit "Attack" Button, and hope to win. You have to strategize, positioning your team member well (for example, i put Eris as healer behind Finn, so she seldom got attacked since they need to go through Finn first), and of course, learning about your enemy itself and exploiting their weakness. The first 3-4 hours really kinda lame, and then the pace picked up after at least, you get the to one of the "Arena City" that i forgot its name, since it kinda escalated to a more heavier story.

The soundtrack also catch up later, with some awesome song will ready to make your experience more enjoyable. The hand-drawing for the enviroment is top notch, and the difficulty, especially on boss battle is no joke.

For me, there are 2 annoying parts that need to be fixed:
1. Weight Management System
You have weight limitation, but the loot keep coming since you can't decide which one to pick. The result? Your inventory got full fast, ends up with Finn can't run, ends up with you need to sort your inventory and throw everything that you do not need, ends up with more free space, battle again, filled up again, repeat. It's annoying.

2. Dialog
Doesn't feels natural, and there are a lot of awkward moments that just doesn't click to me. For example? When they decided to talk about virginity, in one of the scene. Like, what the hell?

But despite all that cons, for its price compared to the content and experience that you get, i totally recommend it. This is not a JRPG that you can decide in just 3 hours gameplay. Give it a time, gather your party, meet a lot more bosses and side quest, go to the Dumville, enjoy the mini-games and the strategy battle ala Suikoden 2. I think most of you gonna agree with me.

For me, it's a 7.5/10 experience. Recommended.
