This is one of the most fun single-player experiences I've had for years!
The only other "JRPG" game I've played before this is the Pokemon franchise and this game includes many elements that I wish Pokemon did. I say this so it's clear that this formula is relatively new to me.
- The familiars don't have as much personality as Pokemon but there are still some DOPE designs that are easy to fall in love with!
- The graphics not only hold up but also look STUNNING in 2020!
- The spells are incredibly intuitive and add a lot to the gameplay!
- The story is very interesting and fairly unique!
- The item systems allow for a clear sense of progression!
- Trying to 100% the game makes it a blast and a chill experience as you progress through the story!
- The combat is complex enough for the grinding to rarely feel stale and repetitive!
- The English dub has charm but I recommend the Japanese voices because it has so much more character!
This game is WELL worth the $30 price tag during this summer sale!
Playing this game now makes me wish I had grown up with a PS3 so I could've played this when it first came out. It's a fantastic experience, especially considering that the current Nintendo Switch Pokemon titles / DLC feel more repetitive and boring than this originally 9 year old game. I couldn't recommend this game more!

As someone who pre-ordered Overwatch 1, Blizzard took advantage of my trust in them by blatantly lying about the PVE experience. Not worth getting invested in the game now because all that will happen is you will want to purchase skins for characters. You will get flamed if you're new to the game; period. Simply not worth your time.
