This is one of the few games i could play over and over again. Definitely a recommendation.

For those who want a more lengthy review:
This is one of those games where it can take a while to get into, and some might never get into it.
The combat is, in my opinion, really well made. I still find it fun to start the game and just get into a fight with the many various creatures within Gransys (And Bitterblack Isles). And with the 9 different vocations, and the pawn system, it really makes the combat enjoyable, with some extra replayability. Getting tired of being that heroic knight? Switch vocation and become that dashing rogue you have in your dreams. Or maybe switch your waifu pawn's vocation.

The atmosphere of the game is quite spot on. And i remember when i first started playing on the console, the nights were terrifying.

Story-wise, the story is definitely there. Is it good? Not compared to story-driven games really. But it IS interesting and quite unique, in my experience, but it might take you most of the game to "realise". For some, it does falls flat on its face.

Romance, It is admittedly not the best. But it's something atleast. Without a previous experience, and/or reading up on the system, it's ridiculously easy for some to end up with some 'random' npc. *cough*Caxton*cough* (Which for some may end up being a good laugh.)

To cut it short; Do you want a game where the combat is really enjoyable, and fighting 'bosses' / giant creatures is well executed? This game is for you.
